Happy New Year!Hello Fallen Friends,
2010 is here and here's hoping you and all your families are enjoying the brand new decade.
I for one find myself especially excited about 2010. According to the parables of numerology, the number 3 is my destiny.
Guess what 2010 adds up to, blatantly obvious, I know. Therefore, I'm looking forward to enjoying a fun filled year of destiny(I've
only waited an entire decade for this year to come around again). I hope you all will have fun, love, and blessings this year
as well.
My debut novel The Seraph's Orb has turned out very well. The editing process has been successful and
I've been lucky enough to find a group of writing buddies who've been very supportive in helping me with readings, rewrites,
etc. My only issue? I need to stop going back and revising what I've already revised. If you're a perfectionist type writer
like me, then chances are the editing process gets pretty tedious real fast. That happy medium between just right and over
edit addiction continues to blur. Some advice. Stop doing it. Stop going back and rewriting. Forge ahead without looking back
into the perils of the sea of bad syntax. Revising is similar to working on a first draft. You just have to plunge ahead and
then go back and re read what you re wrote. Otherwise, the process becomes a tedious pile of never ending slush. Translation?
Your book will never see 'The End' in true light.
Thanks to the wonderful personas of Twitter, MySpace, and Facebook,
The Seraph's Orb has generated more buzz than I'd ever imagined my unedited version could muster. I thank all the authors,
editors, readers, writers, and mentors who've brought the book this far, and to think, it's only in the baby stages. 2010...I
believe I heart you already.
Yours in Prose
