In 2024, I read SO many more books than I thought possible.
While I loved reading all those new books and getting to know new authors, their characters and stories, the truth was I was avoiding my book. The one my editors sent months ago, because honestly I wasn’t happy with the story and the character’s journey and put my head in the sand to avoid fixing it.
But I’m happy to say I’ve pulled my head out of the sand and ready to jump in and start editing. After all, what I sent my editors was the first draft and first drafts were meant to be edited. And edited. And edited again. Lol!
The original story was just one book, but as I was writing it, I fell in love with the side characters and decided to give them their own stories. What surprised me was the change to the characters, specifically their “gifts”. Before the fantasy readers get too excited, it’s not that kind of gift. Lol! Their gifts are more subtle and fit with the characters, their personalities and their stories. The first book is part of a 3 part book series and I’m excited to share it with you.
I started editing this week. Eeekkk!
While I’m excited because I came up with ideas to make the book, characters and their stories better, I’m also terrified of the feedback from my editors. But honestly that’s nothing new. Lol!
