Why Do You Need an Editor?
See this Amp at http://amplify.com/u/a1afqkNabokov said, "My pencils outlast my erasers."
Writing well means trial and error and learning to master the craft. And that's an on-going journey. I keep learning new things every year. You're never "there." You're never perfect. And sometimes I think the more I learn, the less I know.
I once read of a famous writer of the past who would simply scribble out his manuscripts on whatever paper surface he might have at hand, give the pile to his editor at the publishing house, and that person made everything come together for lasting, classic fiction works.

The Hardest Thing by Penelope Wilcock
This week, the Christian Fiction Blog Alliance is introducing The Hardest Thing Crossway Books (July 31, 2011) by Penelope Wilcock
ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
PENELOPE WILCOCK is a full-time author living in Hastings, Sussex, on the southeast coast of England. Her blog, Kindred of the Quiet Way, is about a simple and spiritual Christian lifestyle. Her other books in The Hawk and the Dove series are The Hawk and the Dove, The Wounds of God, and The Long Fall.
ABOUT THE BOOK
This latest in Wilcock's The Hawk and the Dove series takes readers into the world of a fourteenth-century monastery struggling to forgive an old enemy seeking refuge.The first of three sequels to the celebrated The Hawk and the Dove trilogy takes place one year after the end of the third book, in the early fourteenth century. A peaceful monastery is enjoying its new abbot, who is taking the place of Father Peregrine, when an old enemy arrives seeking refuge. Reluctantly taking in Prior William, the upended community must address old fears and bitterness while warily seeking reconciliation. But can they really trust Prior William?
In her fourth book in the series, Penelope Wilcock wrestles with the difficulties of forgiveness and the cautions of building trust. Taking the form of journal entries, her story will delight the imaginations of readers captivated by a time and place far distant from our current world. Her timeless themes, however, will challenge our prejudices today as we, along with her characters, are forced to ask ourselves, "What is the hardest thing to do?"
If you would like to read the first chapter of The Hardest Thing, go HERE.
My Review
This novel is on my TBR pile, and I look forward to reading it. It looks interesting.

Little treasures hiding behind the foliage of our deck
For several days, Mama Robin kept going back and forth with worms, and we stayed away. Early one morning (still dark), Kim and I woke to the loud, angry chirping of birds. Kim rushed out and almost stepped on one of the baby robins. Apparently Mama Robin had decided it was time for her babies to leave the nest. A cat slunk nearby, stalking the babies, and the adult birds were putting up a fuss to keep it away. Kim scared the cat away, and all was at peace. Later that morning the nest was empty.

Your office can go paperless. Here's how. I had an old HP printer with a scanner. I just downloaded ScanDrop, and now anything I scan can go straight to my Evernote account, stay organized, and delegate any paper to the trash. Sweet!
