We’re caffeinated for Episode 207 of our lovely award-winning podcast. Seriously, we are buzzed. We changed our coffee habits for reasons, but had a big cup during this episode. We brought a lot of energy to this podcast:
Happy Birthday to our kid (tomorrow), my grandmother, Dolly Parton, and Edgar Allen Poe!
Many thanks to Jacci Turner for her half-book review of “From Tundra to Tiara.” Related: please check out her books.
We said goodbye to TikTok which may be back this week. (Edit: it's back)
Finding Salvation is still on 99¢ Presale and will be released on January 31.
My books Sheriff and Downfall (books page) will be available for sale at this year’s Brew HaHa. The Sierra Arts Foundation's big fundraiser of the year will feature books from local authors, plus some of the local authors themselves. Please check it out and spend a lot of money for a great cause.
CC had the wonderful experience this week of completing her “VC romance” manuscript. Finishing your first draft is a heady experience.
The meat of the podcast was the various stages of editing. Writers have a love/hate relationship with the process. Some of us are blessed to have excellent editors (Hi, Teri and Red Adept!) which makes our lives easier. We’re also blessed to have awesome Beta Readers. But it’s still a nerve-racking experience as we watch our “babies” (manuscripts) get changed at the hands of a third party. We talk about the strengths and weaknesses of self-editing versus paying someone with their fresh set of eyes.
As we say: “Writing is deeply personal experience done in the bright public light.”
Have a listen and let us know what you think. TIA LYL!
