Editing and Revising Chapter Two of the Wastelands of Oz

Editing and revising Chapter Two of the Wastelands of Oz. I can;t wait to finish my edits and revision so I can submit it to a publishing company =] Do yall know that the series had fourteen books? I don;t know if I’m going to write that many sequels lol but I am definitely writing two more and already have the ideas written down for them.

How come no one ever thought to do a spin off aside from the Great and Powerful Oz movie and the Wicked book? You never know what happens to Dorothy after she grows. This book doesn’t go into detail to much of Dorothy but it still surrounds her life through her daughter’s eyes. I remember watching the Wizard of Oz over and over at the age of three. Yes, I was that little and still remember watching it and keeping my gaze for so long on the movie that my yes burned when I blinked. I was captivated by the movie and so is my daughter

Facts about the Wizard of Oz most don’t know

It has been an extrememly long time since I had read the Oz books, so while editing last night I found some pdf’s and downloaded them to my tablet and read the first and main Oz story over again. My WIP Wastelands of Oz is based from the books not the movie so I wanted to be more acurate with everything. Warner Bros. really fucked everything in that book. First of all, I’m fairly certain that everyone knows that the ruby slippers in the movie were really silver. If not, sorry to burst your bubble but the book represented a presidential campaign in the 1800’s. The silver slippers represented the silver of the country and the yellow brick road represented the gold of the country. Another thing you didn’t relize if you have (or haven’t) read the book is that Glinda is NOT the good witch of the North but is actually the good witch ofthe South. The good witch of the North is the one that greets Dorothy in Munchkin Land but she is not Glinda, she actually has no name.

So needless to say, a few small details have to be rearranged but the one top copyright infringement piece that I have to rework in my novel is that Miss Gulch never existed in the book. She was created for the movie only SO I need a new angle and have to think hard on it. Hmmm decisions, decisions.
