Revision Hell

Now that I've finally finished my current edit obligations (though I'm sure there will be more) I'm back to working on my current work in progress. Since I've been away from the story for about three weeks, this is a prime time to read it with a fresh eye.Every writer has their own working styles and steps. When I get close to the end of a story I like to step away from it for a while and look at

There has been much speculation about how the publishing world is (or has) changed and what it all means for the consumer, the publisher, and yes, for the writer.One particular thing I've noticed is the great divide between print books and e-books remains on those blogs/reviewer sites that purport to have a

On the down slope...

Getting there! Hopefully, I'll finish the edits today!In the meantime, tonight at 7PM I'll be at Love Romances Cafe for my monthly chat about books. I hope you'll drop by to visit. For more info, check out the box at the upper right!anny

Still editing...

Still in the editing cave.On the up side, I received a lovely note from a fellow author about Carnal Camelot. It certainly gave me a much needed confidence boost!anny
