Today we hold a vote to choose one writer from our team who will 'tweak' what has been written to their own style of expression. We call this role a 'veneer' writer as they will not change the substance or structure of the story but will give it a single voice.
Whilst we are celebrating the diversity of a collaborative work, we do want the story to read as if a single writer was responsible.
In most parts, the veneer may be very thin or non-existent but in others a little deeper. The objective is to have a consistent voice through each thread of the story but we also have a deadline to meet!
Whilst the veneer writer is at work, with one or more helpers, the remaining team will focus upon the few structural questions raised in our read-through and then final chapter.
I'm guessing the next few weeks will fly past as we work to get everything completed by December 31st!

Getting exciting...
How are we going to fit Christmas in?
This is quite an achievement! Have you settled on a title and an author name yet?
Foolishly a few months ago I felt we would make it quite easily but now Mick, we both know it will be a close thing!
Nik - we have a working title of 'Passage to Redemption' and are toying with a couple of author names. The one I like is simply 'The Crew' (it is linked to the story) but we haven't finally decided yet.
The clock is ticking!
