We all have our own rhythm that lands at a completed draft. What works works.
This echoes a lot talks I've had recently with other writers. #writingcommunity #aibooks #readers #horror #histfic #croatia #writingwip #nyt www.nytimes.com/2026/04/10/b...
Folks, I'm really not interested in editing services. No need to pitch or probe or ponder whether i understand the different levels of editing. Always happy to chat, except as some sort of come-on dialogue.
I have 40+ years editing experience. And I mean professionally.
Nope
Dear author service spammers, happy your AI is working so well. Now sod off. Best regards, writers everywhere.

Maybe not mentally ill ... that covers a wide range of woes ... but definitely batshit crazy.
Perfect night for going over the draft of my next horror. Whatever you do, don't split up! #writingcommunity #horror #histfic #yabooks #croatia #korcula #wip #readers #newrelease #newnovel #spooky

Progress report on the horror WIP, which now has a tentative name. (Yay!) I'm working quickly through 2nd revision. One more sweep, and I'll send it out to beta readers and start thinking about cover art .. and agents. #writingcommunity #horror #histfic #croatia #wip #readers #newrelease #litagents

QUESTION TIME How concerned are you about family & friends reviews? There's doom mongering on reddit, etc., but has anyone been banned from Amazon because a friend posted an unsolicited review? Nothing an author can control. #writingcommunity #horror #histfic #croatia #wip #reviews #kdp #amazon
When I published Island at the Edge of War in 2020, I didn't expect a story of courage in the face of peer pressure and cultural bigotry to remain so relevant to current times. #writingcommunity #horror #histfic #yabooks #croatia #korcula #wip #readers #newrelease #newnovel #trump #nokings
