May review

First, it's mind-blowing that it's time to write this post. The second day of June, and where has all of 2010 gone? Too odd, and I don't think I'll ever adjust to time going so fast.

But that has to be set aside, for this is all about the month that was, May a busy time. I wrote a book, editing all sorts of things, took time off then felt weird, in that three days away from the novel in progress was one too many. But it fell into place, as things do.

If nothing else, I do know things will fall into place. Maybe not where I thought they would fall, but who am I to say?

I edited the first three books in the Alvin's Farm series, to start, after really starting by editing A Cornflower Snow. Which wasn't as bad as I thought! While I'll be adding a chapter to Another Life Of Matthew Sagan and Hand In Hand, A Cornflower Snow was actually okay, better than I thought when writing it. Rose coloured glasses perhaps?

Maybe. I do know that it might be top heavy with information, in that much of the story is revealed in the first part, but for now, it's been initially sorted, and will sit for a bit.

Plenty of other things to come next, like the editing of Alvin's Farm, The Thorn and the Rose, followed by Memories of Home. Those three comprise the first half of the that series, and Memories of Home wasn't as bad as I feared. Maybe I just think it's all rubbish, or maybe it is and I'm just deluded.

As I edited those three, I wrote Hand In Hand, which was fun to create, two different bands and their stories, pretty interesting. I also ran through my head the plot for Where Is Fielder Walsh? as well as coming up with the very beginnings of The Colours Of Planes.

Yes, a very busy month, not including all the agents I accumulated for later this summer. Summer only arrived here in California at the end of the month, so many cool days, but this year it won't seem so endless.

The search for an agent might feel that way, but at least the warmest season will feel more to average!
