Recording myself reading my manuscript out loud, I found SO many little things that needed fixing. It was totally worth the effort.
Writing
Celebration
Editing is always easier when you have a box of chocolates at your elbow. This is something my husband understands, bless him.
Anticlimactic Milestones
This morning I finished the final draft of my second novel. It’s done. I think. Or mostly done. So why don’t I feel like celebrating?
Story Holes Vs. Hunger
The main difference between story holes and story hunger is whether or not your reader can understand the story.
Books You Don’t Post on GoodReads
The books I don’t post on GoodReads are the ones whose titles tell the world too much about my personal life.
Lower the Bar
People sometimes ask how I manage to keep working when life gets in the way and they laugh when I tell them, truly: lower the bar.
Not Okay
I cannot sit by and watch kids get murdered. It’s not okay with me. And writing is about the only skill I have that I can apply to the problem.
