A life made of stories.
But every story needs polish to shine.

BUTCHERING my WIP until it’s no longer recognisable! Guess readers will tell me if it’s a good or bad thing 😬😬😬😬 #amwriting #amediting #indieauthor #WIP

I keep avoiding editing a difficult part of my manuscript by working on different writing projects. Will I stop procrastinating today?

...maybe

Look what arrived!

Yes, I know it came out last year.
Yes, I know there’s an online subscription.
Yes, [Mom], I do use it often enough to have a hard copy.

This is what excitement looks like when you’re an editor. 😂

Consistency is the silent killer of great stories. A character's motivation can shift, but their fundamental essence should remain steady throughout the journey. Keep track of those details. Save this for your deep edit. #AmEditing #WritersLife #WritingCommunity

#WipSnips 30 Sep 'guard'

Dinner is over. The conversations had an impact.

#NutJob discovers that #KristalClear didn't find it easy.

How can everything be so hard?

#scifi #SlenderWolf #finances #MoneyMatters #romance #amediting #writing #WritingCommunity #bookSky #LoveStory

WIP extract book 2 of 6
SlenderWolf In With the In Crowd

Chapter 12
A Flood of Tears

KristalClear has walked only two steps with NutJob, and she waited meticulously until the door  behind them had closed. Unable to contain her emotions any longer, she turns to him, with distressed, soulful eyes. 

Caught completely off guard, NutJob freezes.

For as long as they had known each other she has been the anchor, the one who steered through chaos without blinking. Seeing her now, eyes wide with a raw, agonising vulnerability, is uncharted territory. Reaching out instinctively, his hands hover for a split second before gently holding her by the shoulders.

His voice has changed, not his normal pragmatic one, something more gentle, direct, and urgently concerned.

“Hey, what’s up?”

She doesn’t answer straight away, instead, burying her face in her hands, her shoulders shaking uncontrollably as the dam breaks.

“Is this what happiness and meaning is?” she gasps, “we’re doing an emotional juggling act simply to keep onside with our parents?” 

She wails, “walking a financial tight rope just to stay alive? Dash! All I want to do is be with you! How can everything be so hard?”

KristalClear - A watercolour painting of an attractive young girl aged 17. She has beautiful long straight deep brown hair and her eyes are chestnut coloured. Her face has a gentle expression with a hint of a smile. She is wearing a plain white T shirt. She is demi-psychic, but struggles with reading the minds of  humans.

NutJob - A watercolour picture of a charming young man aged 17. He has neat well groomed brown hair, his eyes are bright blue, and his face has an a simple, polite smile although it looks as if he's concentrating. He's wearing a plain white T shirt.

Yesterday’s editing went well! I got the chapter I wanted done.

Today is a bit busier, but I still think I can get at least one, if not two chapters edited.
