I've just finished a general read through of book 2, Nothing Ventured, and am so relieved that I still like it and it doesn't need any major storyline changes.

I have a few small adjustments to make in the next read through and then the one after that will be going through the flow of the sentences.

The final check is probably my least favourite when I check spelling and grammar. It's a case of going through the whole book, word by word, to make sure it's correct. You can't solely rely on the spellchecker. It's so easy to write 'he' instead of 'she' for example; which won't show up on it.

My main concern was that the book was easy to follow as there are four stories running through it. That's where being able to put it aside for a few months really helped; I was able to read it fresh this week.

I can't believe how quickly this year is going. Already we are in July which means I have only three months to get this book ready for publishing. That's both scary and exciting.

I feel as happy and excited about publishing book 2 as I did book 1. The thrill doesn't lessen. The front cover is already designed and I look forward to loading it up onto Amazon and to here.
