It's such thrill when a new book comes out! To all you hopeful aspiring writers out there, let me tell you, it's worth it to persevere through months and years of writing!
My author copy of VIOLET WINGS arrived several days ago. I looked at its dazzling cover art and hefted its 300+ pages, humming with joy.
Once finished, a book can be read in a few hours. The story flows, seemingly without effort. That's as it should be!
But of course, I know how many many hours went into it--not just from me, but from others. I didn't keep track of how much time I spent writing, revising, writing, revising this book. . . And then there were all the contributions from critique partners, editors, designers, artists, marketers. It takes a village to raise a book. :)
If you'd like to read the prologue to get a sense of what the book's about, go to my home page and click on "read the prologue."
Breathe on your own now, book of my heart! Soar through the world with strong wings.
