Ambiance Adds to the Reading Experience

This looks like a comfortable and interesting place to read a book.  A chair in the background could be in Amsterdam, Hungary, anywhere in the world could be right outside the window.  The ambiance adds to the enjoyment of that book you just can't put down.  So, set up your reading area.  Open a window, light a few candles, or sit outside to add to your reading pleasure.  The characters in your novel are taking in a day at the shore; join them.  Make a day of it, bring a picnic lunch, and enjoy the simple pleasure.

Happy Reading,

I Am Pleased

I am so blessed to have brilliant friends that love to read. I just received some great suggestions helping with the flow of my story. Once more, I am reading my novel for editing. Fortunately, I am finding very few spelling and grammar problems. I did however find some of my story a bit choppy, so I asked a dear friend of mine who has published some medical papers to take a look.

Her comment was, "This is really good." And yes, the incredulity was there, thickly. She does not read, "Supernatural stuff."

To say the least, I'm pleased. Her recommendation was simple, skip a line between jumps in action. For example, when your character goes to sleep then wakes up the next morning. 

The action may already be in a separate paragraph, but needs more pause. Skipping an extra line between these actions make the story flow more smoothly. So that's what I'm working on right now.

My next step is to figure out how to set up my own web site. Research on this topic is taking a while, but hopefully that just means mine will be good.
