Continuing writing my new novel- chapter 11

 11/23- Just finished chapter 11 on my new novel.  Making small changes throughout but going to have to do research and rethink a lot of it. One thing I've learned through writing groups - is it has to be true to life - it has to resonate in truth - for me, it does, anyway.   Is it believable?  Could this conceivably happen?  Could the reader relate to this?
 11/21-  Hi everyone - I just got some beautiful reviews for my first novel- "Passion Reignited" - it's such a thrill as a writer to know that my dream is finally a reality.  People who I don't know are reading my words all over the world.  If you haven't purchased a copy - please check it out on Inkitt or Wattpad - you can get a few chapters and see if you like it and if you want to purchase.  Anyway, for those of you who have purchased it & read it - I thought it'd be fun to interview my characters. For Tony:  Did you really think about Rachel for the years that you were apart?  How did you feel when you heard she had gotten married? Tony: Yes, I did think about her on and off for a while when I was backpacking through Europe.  I wanted to share the joy of opening up my own restaurant with her and ask her thoughts about the menu and the food.  But I knew there was no hope for a future for us, as her parents disowned her, and I could nev...

Up to Chapter 10

 11/19 - Crawling along on my new novel but I'm enjoying re-reading it and now I remember it did have a lot of depth to it like my last novel but I can increase it even more.   If you're reading this blog and you'd like to have some fun - possibly tonight or tomorrow I'll be interviewing the characters of my last novel, "Passion Reignited" and we can have some fun with that.

November 19th - Novel #2 on the horizon

 11/19 - Hi everyone.  It's been a while since I've written on here.  Covid and spending time at home with the kids has been difficult.  I have started working on my next novel and I'd like to share with you a bit about it and get some feedback.  I wrote this novel back in 2014 - I'd like this one to take place today (well, pre-covid times).  I started re-reading it and reworking it a bit - not much yet b/c honestly I remember the story and I'm pretty excited about it.  I like it a lot.  I have learned a lot as a writer since then.  I probably will write this in the first person as I did my last novel.  I'd like to ask some questions of my readers/fan base.  This female main character is guarded -she's been deeply devastated by something that happened in her childhood.  I could use some help shaping her, she's also in her 20's.   What TV character do you think of who's guarded? What type of look do you envision for he...
