Editing and Book cover Stage

Hey everybody, Sorry I have been away for a while but I am in the middle of allowing the editor to add his magic to my book before I can get this baby out onto the market and into your hands. PLEASE Stay with me. Thank you all for being so patient with me. Right now, My editor is working on the 4th chapter. This is my first book and I am seeing that editing is just not a one person surgery, it's a TEAM EFFORT. But anyway we are making some progress. Slowly but better something than nothing. Also, I've been busy with enlisting the help of the wonderful and cool book designing company of all time. DAMONZA. If you haven't seen the pics I uploaded on Facebook. Take a look here at my Pinterest. 

   You'll see all the pictures I've uploaded of my book cover. Have I selected a book cover? Nope, I am very indecisive. I like both and then I asked some of my friends what their opinion was. And they all have mixed feelings on which cover I should go with. So, I'm trying to come to a solution. As we continue to edit and weave together this story for the final cut. Hopefully I'll be able to reach a decision soon. Also, Has any of you heard of this band Wagakki Band. When I heard their song "Senbonzakura"...I thought of Bleach the anime right away and also the song made me write some more for my book. The next one that is. The video link is posted on my Pinterest. Take a look. I think I am getting the hang of this media thing. Who knows. Well, back to editing. Keep you guys updated. 3 chapters down, a 4th in waiting and many more to edit. Dont' worry we are entering the final steps. Keep looking in the stars...Soon it will be our time to shine. Take care all. Keep chasing your dreams. M. Yori ^_^

EDIT UPDATE

SO Where am I with this editing deal. Okay so I have been thoroughly editing and thoroughly editing. I went back and read everything slowly and taking into all everything in and adding and filling in some gaps that I thought needed to be filled. I have added a prologue and have successfully edited the 10th chapter. That is where I am. I am content with how it has turned out and do not think I will change anything unless a beta tells me or editor advises me to. in which I am in a quest for both. Some of my buddies have offered their assistance to the best of their abilities and it has helped me a bunch. So shout out for Milos, Mike, J. T., and Max. Thanks a bunch for your help, patience and continuous support. I really appreciated it.
