The fourth part of the serialized story I'm writing for The Fiction Writer's Den came back today with a few editor's notes.
There weren't many notes, but they required a lot of work on my part to clear.
One thing rewriting Part...

I met my editor for lunch yesterday and we had a wonderful time. The restaurant she chose was one I hadn't tried. The food and service were excellent. Dining there also gave me a reason to go downtown - not something I often do -...

You know how one small thing can change your whole life? I had one of those life-changing moments this morning.
The editor I met with last week for lunch, gave me feedback on the chapter I sent her, and it's truly amazing what a...

I have a meeting for lunch today with an editor and my best friend. I haven't dealt with an editor since the last one messed me up so bad, and made my manuscript look like an alien had worked on it.
My friend knows my qualms...

It has been days that I didn’t visit mylot. I was so busy editing essays. I can’t squeeze my time to log-in here. Now, I am free since all the editing stunts were done. The company had given the essay editors 100 essays and needed...

Today at lunch I met with my editor and she gave me her markup copy of A BOY AND TWO ISLANDS. I've only had a brief chance to glance through it, but it looks like I have a lot of work do to.
Writing a book is a lot of fun....

Yes, that has been the day here so far. It rained about an hour ago, but we're back to blue skies and high white clouds. The forecast was for scattered showers today with a thunderstorm coming in by 7:30 an hour from now. Hard...

I keep hearing the excuse from writers that they can't pay for editing. Believe me, I know it can be difficult finding an editor that will not only work with what you can afford but also take reasonable payments.
I've come across...

I like when things get done. Even if the getting done is simply a step toward a goal because it means things are moving forward.
Now that I have an editor working on Grue Tales I can move on to the next step which is getting a...
