Morocco for a George Ryan adventure?

For George: Taghazout and Anchor Point.

For me: Amazigh history, ancient Atlantic trade, Phoenician connections, Roman purple dye and offshore islands.

Surf + archaeology strikes again.

Be honest, authors.

Would you rather have:

10 people who say “I loved it!”

or

1 reader who explains exactly what wasn't working?

I think the second one can be much harder to hear...

but much more useful.

Which would you choose?

This snippet was removed from my manuscript, THE FARM, very early in the process. Turns out readers don't need the boring details, even if there might be a chuckle as the payoff. #darlingsIkilled #booknerd #booklover #authorslife

So grateful for the gift of words...and that the little girl who read "Charlotte's Web" in a single afternoon when she was six,and always had her nose in a book,grew up to write her own novels.😎🙏❤️📝📖📚🎶💥🌎🙏 #writerslife #authorslife #bibliophiles #booklovers #unlimited #reading #writing #authors #books

At no point yesterday did I expect to run into Henry III ( Eleanor's husband and my favorite of the two kings in my novel THE SISTER QUEENS)! Then I walked into the York train station and looked up at this billboard! YET ONE MORE REASON I LOVE YORK! #historicalfiction #York #authorslife

Von 9100 auf 15000 - yay. Ich habe heute für den Flow alles vernachlässigt, aber ich werde das in einer bestimmten Zeit durchziehen! Und wenn ich es schaffe, schaffe ich das auch mit anderen Ideen.

Authors, I’m curious.

How do you actually know when your manuscript is ready for someone else to read?

Not “I think it’s good enough.”

What is the sign that makes you say:

Okay. Someone else can see this now.

Da will man seit Seite 50 eine Pause machen und schreibt trotzdem immer weiter. Kennt ihr sicher.
