For the most part, I find it interesting to read the manuscript after having it put aside for a month or two. Already there are some areas I might address with a new approach and there are TONS of new titles I would include. But, by and large, I am happy with this book and hope it meets with some measure of success. I often remark that I still shake my head when I say, "my third book." I never ever thought I would write a book let alone more than one. And yet, here I am, proofreading #3. The writing and revising and editing also gives me some small glimpse into the work of those I admire including Laurie Halse Anderson and Alex Flinn who both celebrate their birthdays today.
