Murphy's Law

Just when I thought I was finished for 2010, I get notes on my fourth book. The irony is that the notes came just as I started the outline for a different novel. Talk about Murphy's Law. The good news is that the general notes are pretty manageable. There's nothing there that makes me want to crawl under a rock. I do have to make a few major adjustments, but I think they'll make the story better. I also have to look at updating the technological references to reflect what's happening today. Of course, the problem is that once the book is published, my cutting edge technological references will be as outdated as my iPod shuffle. I still have one more set of notes coming, and I'm guessing they'll arrive sometime between now and Christmas Eve. I think that no matter when the notes arrive, I'm going to hold off on the revisions until the New Year. January and February are dead months for school visits, so I'm going to have plenty of time to write, and that's a nice change.
