Dear Reader,
Wow, check me out; I'm writing a new blog entry and it hasn't even been six months since the last one. Woo hoo! Alright, either I'm getting the hang of this balancing act of time management... or I have something to say. Oh yah, I know me and since I'm typing, it's because I have something to say.
First off, I want to say thank you to everyone taking a peek at my first book, "Hundred Calorie Snacks: A Carpathian Texan Novel". I cannot tell you how much I appreciate all the support and positive responses.
Next off, or is that on, since I'm online? Oh well, off on, me and the Karate Kid... minus the wax. I would like to say that your positive responses have fueled the fire under my office chair to get me working faster. Edits are already underway for my next novel. Now that I have, a little better handle on the whole editing thing; hopefully, it won't take two months of Mondays to get the next novel out.
Editing is so incredibly important, nearly as important as the story. Without proper editing, the story won't make a lick of sense. Your characters can be memorable, your dialogue compelling, your action seat gripping, but without the right tone, pace, accentuation, and punctuation the story can fall flat. So here's to the backspace key.
Happy Reading,
Carolyn Haven
