A Funny One

Well, further to Vanessa’s comment on yesterday’s post (and this isn’t some sort of edit-off or competition, promise!) here’s another, more intense, editing picture. I think this was in February or March.

My flash written on a postcard for the Waterstone’s gallery thingumy is now up. It’s called In Utero. It’s an old one, probably getting on for about three years old. And it’s a funny one. As I said yesterday it’s one I’m quite fond of when I remember it, it’s just that I don’t remember it very often. In fact, I don’t think it’s much of a story, probably more of a thought put into words, or something like that. Anyway, it’s up, it’s not going to win anything, but, I think, it’s fun.

  1. Is this editing a real, proper, about-to-be published book? Are these proof pages? Or galley slips or something?Tell me more…

  2. Goodness, I wish! No, nothing as exciting as that. I think that I was making sure the structure worked and made sense before embarking on, if memory serves, draft 3. (Which it clearly didn’t, judging by the amount of scribbling there seems to be present!)

  3. Ooh Nik, I’ve just been to look at your postcard. I really liked it. I hope you do win and get into the book, it is a good idea.

  4. Thanks Jenn. I’d be astonished if it won to be honest. Besides, that’s not why I entered; I just thought it’d be quite cool to be involved with it.Oh, and congrats again.Nik
