About Quiet Beneath the Moon

 

NOTE: The title is changed once again. Today my story is "The EndEarther."

I consider Quiet Beneath the Moon to be my best work and I'm satisfied with its present form. The only way to improve it would be to hire a John Steinbeck or Ernest Hemingway to ghostwrite it for me. Of course, when I open it up near September's end, I will likely find out it needs a laundry list of improvements. At the final end I plan to subject it to Grammarly, not to be prompted how to write it all better, but to catch spelling and certain grammatical errors. I still have no clue how I am going to market it.

More about the Edit

 The first edit was the easy part of the whole process. This second edit is tedious work. But it should be done in a day or two. Then I put it to rest for a month or so while I work over some short stories.

Edit Update

 The editing of Quiet Beneath the Moon has become a major reconstruction project. Aside from many text corrections and restructured paragraphs for clarification, I am adding another chapter, perhaps two, at the end. There is an unfortunate death of a recurring character. Already the quality of this project has improved and will continue to improve. I can't predict when it will be finished.
