Having been “off-blog” since the 9th of May, Jessica Blair is back!   Reasons for the break – a mini-holiday followed by a sickness bout but now all is well. However time does not stand still for a writer.

 

I had my copy-edited script of A TAPESTRY OF DREAMS to check. I managed it in spite of my set-back. The script is back with Piatkus, my publisher, and going through the procedures towards publishing early next year.

I had also been working on my next idea. I had completed an outline and sample three chapters and had sent them to Piatkus when I was ‘laid-low’.  I was revived by the news that they were liked and would be presented at an editorial meeting next week. So I await that decision.

A writer’s life is never dull. It is always filled with interest, hope and expectation. A writer needs to be focused and be determined to make those come to fruition.

 

Today I received the copy-edited manuscript of  A TAPESTRY OF DREAMS. This will have to be checked so I will have to put aside the new novel for which I have been making notes about its development  if my publisher PIATKUS like the idea and the sample three chapters and outline I have sent them. Last week I had the samples of the book jacket for A TAPESTRY OF DREAMS for my suggestions and approval. After writing the book there is still much work in which I become involved, while all the time the prospect the next one is jangling in my mind and I itch to get started on it. Hopefully the time to start the computer up for the new book is not far away, then my characters and I can start talking to each other. Plenty of work to do but a pleasant engaging time lies ahead. Watch my blog for developments and enjoy the journey.
