Meredith Mansfield, Author

After a bit of an interruption for MAGE STORM, following Agents Day, I worked finished working through the rough draft of SEVEN STARS. Then I took a little break to get caught up on some critique-driven revisions on BLOOD WILL TELL and DREAMER’S ROSE and worked on a couple of short stories. That gave me a little space.

Now, I’m about to plunge back into SEVEN STARS and barely come up for air for the next three weeks or so. The plan is to have it ready for readers in July. Looking through my notes, that shouldn’t be too hard. I don’t have all that many notes this time around.

There are a few things I want to add or develop further and one thing I want to tone down a bit. I may end up adding a chapter or two.

The manuscript is still a tad short at only 65,000 words. On the other hand, I’d rather be in that position than have to cut 10% to 20%. (Been there. Done that. Not much fun.)

The only things I foresee interrupting the flow on SEVEN STARS this time would be possibly a little more work on this quarters Writers of the Future entry and maybe a little pre-writing work on my next projects.
