    Oh...thank god.....maybe there is hope for me...or...my inner editor is right...I'm not sure. I'm just glad someone of your caliber of skill still has these feelings. You know, success always appears to be easy and pain free for everyone else. I do want to report, however, even with the...

    The Invited A Paranormal Mystery, Volume II...done...95,500 words. I feel this book is quite a bit better than my first. I hope with each story, Novella, Novel...whatever, that I write that I get exponentially better. What would really be great is if I made some significant money off this...

    Plotting? You mean outlining? I wish I had the patience. Maybe that will come later but I don't think its in my DNA. I think I've accepted I'm the "fly by the seat of your pants" writer. Maybe I'll try a plotting or outline on my next one and see if it is easier ....I really have no idea...

    Really great advice, thanks. I feel better knowing maybe...everyone's first draft sucks. The first draft of my second book is not as bad as the first draft of my first book though so I guess that's progress. I have to accept I mostly CAN NOT be in charge of editing my book...catching grave...

    Arghhhhhhhh I hate the editing part. However, that said I learned a harsh lesson on my first book where my zeal to get it done revealed enough editing issues that I will be much slower on the uptake this time. I have redone the cover of my first book to match the feel of my second. I had...

    I am editing the first draft of my second book in this series. I thought about splitting it but I couldn't find a good place to do it so I am going to stop at 80,000 words and hope I can pull the 3rd book off. I am trying out something. I'll let you know what if it appears to be...

    Still writing although slowly. Have decided due to some research...(who knows for sure who is right) that Indy publishers need to publish more and more often, I've decided to split the book up as originally planned and break into 3 book series. I'm going to develop the 2nd book a little more...

    Have you ever thought about being a Writers Coach? I'm just sayin- you might want to think about that. Thanks for the continued support. I started feeling ...kind of alone I guess. Still writing. I hope I can find a niche that will make this a fastlane endeavor; I don't think this one is...

    I've reached 69,000 words. I'm feeling like my story is lagging. I'm not sure if it is or if I just think it is. I don't know if I'll be able to finish by the end of the year. I'm not sure still if I'm on the right track for actually...making some money. Book 1...still has not made enough to...

    I finished the revision. I know it is better than it was. I added about 3,000 words throughout. I am sure 6 months from now I'll look at it again and cringe...and want to re-write it again. Regardless, right now, I feel a lot better about it. Now back to my second book. Today...I'm plagued...

    I love your long posts. Thank you for sharing your experience. That is a lot of great information. I'm 80% done with my re-rewrite...on the already published book and have written 2000 on my next book. I'm glad I'm doing the revision, because if nothing else, it has just been bugging me...
