Don’t Mind the Tears, I’m Just Working
I’ve spent the last few days line editing a novel that, for now, I’m calling Fallen. (Although that’ll probably change another four times before it’s all said and done – titles suck!) Anyway, I’ve gone through this baby, oh, I don’t know, probably 27 times trying to whip it into shape, and there are certain scenes that [...]
