Down the Aisle and Back Again
The first draft of the weddings book - 'Fabulous Places to Get Married in Scotland' - is finally done. Woohoo!
Now it's just a question of going back to the beginning and filling in the bits I couldn't complete first time round for a variety of reasons; laughing hysterically at the stupid, and badly written bits which have crept in; making amendments to same which hopefully are more sensible (or at least better written); adding foreword, contents page, index and stuff like that. And checking very carefully that I haven't gone over the word limit this time - having to remove 14,000 of my lovingly crafted words from the last ms sure taught me a lesson there: COUNT!
So as a result, I'm feeling very pleased with myself and deserving of a break from the computer face.
My first venture out into the unknown, blinking in the unfamiliar lights of day, was my first trip to Wigtown, which proudly proclaims itself 'Scotland's Book Town'.
More of that soon.

Congratulations big time. Its so hard to cut down on words, because the sentences sometimes take a bit if yourself with you... then you've just got to ditch them. Understand completely... Good luck with ti all okay.
