I just finished the edit for Tattler’s Branch. Everyone say, “Yay!”

I had to cut some scenes and add some others. For instance: towards the end of one chapter it is raining. In the following chapter there was a change in POV but it is a sunny day. As the Bible says, it rains on the just and the unjust alike. And in the world of fiction, if it rains on one of my characters it must rain on the others. (smile)

My editor does not change what I write. She makes suggestions and points out places where I go amiss.  I nearly always bow to her expertise. This process makes my books much better. As a writer, it’s good to remember the goal is to turn out a really good book, not to be possessive of your words. It is cold and icy here inKentucky—I think I’ll go write a warm and sunny day.
