Oh, and I do find mistakes. Grr.Martha W.

I love the process, but I'm always wanting to change one more thing to make the novel stronger, or more romantic, or more suspenseful.

I felt like I had made so many mistakes and that my book should just be trashed. But, after looking at his suggestions, I realized he was acting more like a collaborator. I have collaborated on books before. When I made that paradigm shift, it became a welcome challenge. And, if was fun! It was like getting permission to change things for the better in ways I would have been afraid to before. He asked me to make some things "scarier" and "add more hauntings" which was like asking me to put some more icing on my cake! It was a lot of hard work, but it was a blast!Bruce Henniganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04990734267362201108noreply@blogger.com
