Done it - finally

Finally my book is published.

    I spent a squillion hours on it yesterday. All the punctuation errors are fixed. As were the dead ends and plot holes. What plot holes?  

    As always I could spend the next five years editing it and what would finally emerge would be nothing like my original plan. Eventually you just have to let them go. I even published it, then changed the blurb and published again. But now, for better or worse, Scions of Kongomato is finished. It'll be a couple of days until it hits the (virtual) streets, and then I'll perform my usual cursory attempts at publicising it before getting bored and beginning my next book.  

    Of course I'd like to be rich, but to buy a Porsche 911 at my age would be a little tragic. I'm the first one to laugh at all the old men driving young men's sports cars. Fortunately for me, I've been driving the most expensive sports cars in the world on a daily basis for over thirty years so the urge isn't there any more. They weren't mine, I hasten to add, but other people's, foolish or good enough to let me drive theirs.

    I'm a little bored with death and gore, so the next one will be (my version) of comedy. Although at first glance a public school teacher planning to slaughter every child in the school doesn't sound too amusing, I'll try to give him some pitfalls on the way.

    Now if I could just get my tablet WP software to give me smart quotes, It would make my life ever so much easier.
