Interesting Incidents
Hello all.
I'm currently 50% through proof reading Book 2 of the trilogy, and it's shaping up rather well actually. A few niggly little things to do with plot and continuity, but I'm fixing them as I go, so it's working better than it was before... it's more fluid now, and the pace works a lot better.
A few changes I've made include Katie's introduction. At first, her introduction was fairly short (about 1 page). It was very straight down the line, with very little fluff. I went through and expanded the scene, adding more descriptive dialogue and some more interaction between her and her boss. I have named the company she works for (and renamed her boss to fit), and explained a tiny bit more of her history - but not too much, as her background is discovered by Joseph later in the story. I have also reworked the background science, and written in new scenes with Joseph and Ryan to establish the science for the reader. A scene where Joseph first meets Dmitri Tirklov has been reworked to include a few more interesting apprehensive bits, as well as the inclusion of the previously mentioned reworked science.
I have been continuously researching information regarding black holes since new information has come to light from overseas where a new particle collider is being built - scheduled to open within the next 2 years. I have found some preliminary research involving that collider and used the basic theories within my story. This way, the story is not only a work of fiction, but it contains elements of non-fictional groundbreaking physics.
I'm hoping to have my first proof-reading stage completed within 3 weeks, in time for my wedding to my beautiful fiance. We'll be getting married on October 5th, 2006 and I have a few friends who would be willing to have a read of an almost finished product. I think another few proof-reading stages would be in order, and I would greatly appreciate any feedback to the book. I need other points of view and error finding that I may have missed. I need to figure out ease of readability, continuity errors, spelling/grammer mistakes, and anything else that detracts from the story.
But anyways, until next time, I shall be off. Look forward to writing again soon.
