Redemption songs

We're in that really curious stage of publishing called "proof reading and editing". It's a great way of finding out exactly what we've achieved and what we still need to do. There are gaps opening up everywhere, and they must be filled or we'll all be going down with the ship!
It is also fun. I can see sections of the book coming together and that gives me a feeling of progress and redemption. It's taken 10 years to get here, and I needed a sign that things were OK. It's fun to be able to send scripts out to people for checking, and then get them back with additions and compliments. It's going to feel that it's all been worth it. Next up, winter bouldering on Standedge, Bleaklow, the Glossop circuit and Bullstones.
