Aw shucks! I’m almost shedding a little tear here. I’ve just uploaded the last chapter and the epilogue of Paying For The Gallery.

It’s been quite an experience and now I’m hooked on feedback… dreading the cold turkey!

I’d like to thank everyone who has commented – and still are commenting - on PFTG… but I don’t know how to thank you enough. I believe it’s a much better novel now than it was. It’s tighter, more polished, flows better and, as far as I can tell, is glitch-free. And I couldn’t have done it without your fresh eyes and attention to detail.

So a huge thank you… and I love you all.

Hi Dee,
I dream of the day I finish my novel so well done for getting there. What are your plans now?

Elspeth

Hi Dee I haven't commented on previous chapters as I felt the story was alredy too far along for this to make sense. I'll take a look at your finale though, and read it simply as an ending if that's ok.

adele.

Elspeth, this was the first novel I sent to my agent but he rejected it at the full ms stage. He then accepted Driving Force, my other finished novel - which you haven't seen.

I've asked him if he'll re-read PFTG but he won't. However, now that I'm happy with it (I actually think it's better than DF) I'll keep it up my sleeve for when I get a publisher.

In the meantime I'm three-quarters of the way through my next one.

I am obsessed with writing (BIG understatement there!) so it's all I do... apart from working full time...

Thanks for your help with PFTG. It's been invaluable.

The posting in the archive has screwed up a tadge. I’ve asked David to sort it out but, from the length of time WW has been offline this morning, he seems to have his hands full.

In the meantime, if you’d like to comment, you could do it here…

Congrats on the completion, Dee.
I'm rooting for you.

Adam

Thanks Adam. I'll keep everyone posted.

Dee

Just to let you know that David has fixed the problem and it's now possible to comment on the final chapter... if you want to...

Dee

Well done, boss! I'm catching up as quick as I can!!

Thought I'd better mention that, due to overwhelming demand, I've deleted the epilogue...

Well I don't know!

First of all congrats for finishing PFTG. Mine's a large red plonk (no rood comments please!).

And second, why the deletion of the prologue? No, don't tell me. I know. It's just come to me - to protect the storyline of the sequel!! DOPTFG!!

That'll be it, then!

John, that made me laugh.

I dumped the epilogue because I agree with the comments - that it doesn't actually add anything to the story.

And, funnily enough, I am planning a sequel - surprise surprise - and the epilogue was already placing a time restraint on the ideas for that... so it had to go.

Cheers
Dee

Hi Dee, I was wondering if you'd already written the synopsis for PFTG? I'd be very interested in reading it, having read (most of) the book - but also understand if you don't feel like posting it.

Thanks
Elspeth

Good point, Elspeth. I've got about three versions, all of which I hate. I'll have a looksee if one of them is uploadable.
