It’s been a while since I blogged!

Revising and blogging are much like oil and water…when at this stage of the process, the story needs me 100% on one side or the other. More immersion in the story world helps me layer in finer details and emotions. It also drives my family crazy because I’m in that world not this one.

While I finish revising, here’s a tip and a link you may enjoy:
