I have been counting up for 28 weeks* now, and although it's not quite time to start counting down, I've decided it's time to stop counting up. Here's why:
The first draft of Horse of the Same Colour is nearing
completion.
That doesn’t mean it will be published next week or
anything. There is still a lot to do. It must be polished up until it shines.
Then it will be thrown to the fearsome editors at Fantastic Books Publishing
who will kick it about and try to break it (that’s their job). And after that
it will go into the mysterious process known as ‘production’ whereby a raw
manuscript gets sucked in at one end and a shiny new book pops out the other.
We are getting closer to the point where it will be given a
publication date. You’ll hear the champagne corks pop when that message
arrives.

*It seems to be 28 weeks but I'm prepared to be caught out if anyone has been counting closely.
