It fills my cup. <br /><br />I hope to do Walhalla justice with this story.

I mistakenly believed that during my recovery at home, I would just magically want to sit at my computer and madly type away - create, create and all that. The rare times that I did actually sit at it, I just stared blankly at it. At one point, I even put the partial manuscript in the recycle bin. I hated it and writing so much. <br /><br />This new story is a return to the style of The Hambledown Dream - without the paranormal touches. I've explored quite a lot if themes in here too. Relationships, domestic violence (that was challenging) and the beauty of the Victorian mountains which, of course, remain very dear to me. <br /><br />I'm about half way through a first pass edit as I write this. Fortunately there is plenty to work with because I have certainly been harsh in cutting. It's been fun though.

Well done in breaking through and finishing the first draft. I am intrigued by this story.

Romantic fiction is not nearly as easy to write as many believe it to be. <br /><br />Likewise, editing is this fantastical beast that inspires joy and anxiety and complete emotional breakdown - all at the same time. <br /><br />I'm loving it!DeanfromAustraliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12292995600982621329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1786573611032564530.post-88841115088487273822017-04-25T11:30:28.082-07:002017-04-25T11:30:28.082-07:00I love the sound of this book, Dean.
