Marketing

Oh and Karen Syed has a fantastic post about marking on the Life of a Publisher blog that can be found here .

Have fun and learn something.

The Process

Hmm.

It's true what they say - the best thing to do when editing is to sit the manuscript aside for a couple of months then come back to it. I basically did that, although not voluntarily, and wow it was eye opening.

I think I have improved quite a bit since I wrote afterlife book 1. And that means more editing, but my beautiful beta reader is on it. My voice comes out more in the prose, and hell, I think I am just better at painting a decent scene than I was then. It wasn't that long ago.

So I say again, thank GOD for my beta reader. I think I should take her out to dinner (again).

Writing is an ever evolving craft I find. I don't know if that is true for all writers, but it has been for me so far.

Editing is back up!

The edits are moving right along now, with my lovely beta reader knocking out more pages on a daily basis.

Soon, the afterlife series will see the light of day! Muhahahahah

And then the second novel in the series can start up. Stay Tuned!
