- - Bear with me, I should have the E-Book ready by October.
Thanks for your patience, and for all of the interest!!
The word count for One Size Does Not Fit All has been ratcheting up steadily over the last five weeks, and I’m well within sight. Today, however, I took a step backwards. I cut a huge chunk out of one chapter because I’m in severe danger of overshooting that target. I cut 2,500 words, but then wrote 1,000 so the net loss wasn’t too dramatic. It was mainly undigested notes pasted in, so not a great loss.
My style is hardly terse, in fact it’s rather discursive (but not flowery, heaven forbid), so my editor will be able to trim some fat, but if I go too far over the top the page count of the book will go up, costs will rise, and that will either put pressure on my margins or the finished price of the paper book.
Not a problem for the pdf version, except perhaps for bandwidth issues.
Quality words only from here on in. I’m beginning to think about pictures and illustrations. Another bridge to cross (in due course).
