editing

Edit once, edit twice, then edit again. Keep reading it. Print it off and read it some more. Come back to it a week later, then ask several others to read it.

Common sense yes? Well, maybe... Mum read HC, I read it, my BF read it, 2 CP's read it - several others still have it and how many picked up on the error in this sentence?

“Did your mother never tell you not to eat with your mouth full?”

one!

what error? Just read it very very carefully.... Yep, that error. See I know what I mean and most people know what I mean so read it as if it said it lol.

and its raining, so mum isn't getting her car back anytime soon. I don't want to have to start walking to and from work in the rain. Its meant to be a really hot summer? We had 4 days and now tis back to the rain again. Still, its made the grass nice and green once more so its not all bad.

personally i'm blaming hubby cos he's finally put the washing line up in the garden. :)

his new jobs going well. he comes in for lunch :) which is cool. And right now wet. :)

I'd like to be able to reconfigure this layout and make up my own. Maybe one day. When I work out the html required.

I committed the sin of not re-reading something more than once and sending it to my editor recently and I'm paying for it. I get too impatient.

I think I accepted your friend request on Facebook but I've been so busy this week I'm like a chicken with no head. I'll check tonight and accept/add you if I haven't yet.

Thanks for commenting on my blog, too. I hope no one would iron their shirt while it's on. :) But I've seen fiction characters do some silly things. Of course I've seen real people do silly things, too.

A Stalker To Die For by Katy Eeten

  A Stalker to Die For by Katy Eeten I began writing this book at least ten years ago. But as often happens, I hit a writing roadblock and put the manuscript to the side. At the time, I wasn’t sure how to make the plot more intriguing or how to give the story a satisfying conclusion. Instead, I focused my efforts on writing five different contemporary Christian novels and novellas over the past several years. But something kept drawing me back to this storyline, so I knew I had to finish it. A Stalker to Die For was my first attempt at adding suspense into the mix—and it was easier said than done! But I finally completed it. And thanks to a great editor, this book guides readers through a variety of emotions while walking the line between romance, faith, and a suspenseful thrill or two.

Rhonda Parrish Interview

Today’s and tomorrow's guest is Rhonda Parrish, author of Sister Margaret. Today I'm putting her under the spotlight and interrogating her, uh asking her questions. Tomorrow I turn the blog over to her completely. Review of Sister Margaret. Sister Margaret is a short story about a vampire hunter and a half-incubus swordsman who are hired by a priestess to take care of an undead pimp. It’s written from the POV of Michael, who has never forgiven himself for abandoning his friend when they were younger. Determined to use this mission to put things right and make it up to her, Michael sets off, only to find things aren’t what they appeared to be. The book kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time. It was fast paced from the start and its twists and turns make for gripping reading. The descriptions meant I had vivid images in my mind throughout the book. At just over 4000 words, Rhonda wastes none of them, throwing you straight into the story and leaving you breathless at the en...
