#Wordweavers Day 3 - Is your MC a good cook? Any special dishes?
Yeah, oddly enough...
Currently, the book opens with a brief cosmic birth "dream" sequence where Walen experiences a 3rd person reliving of a time he was naked in a lover's kitchen flipping omelettes for their post love snack.
IDK about Minerva, because I hadn't thought about it...
I'm going to guess she's a protein bars & hot pockets kinda gal TBH 🤣 -
For those who are just now finding me, I have published 7 novels in the past 3 years, including one under a pen name. This is the first and the perfect starting point for these interconnected books. It’s the Eighties and this intrepid band of musicians is trying to make their way in the often cutthroat world of Rock and Roll. #electricfame #rockandroll #firstnovel

Sometimes magic happens. I just received word that a kick-ass agent with jewels for clients has agreed to represent my book, #HiramFalls
Hurdle one is cleared. Now for the second ...
Finding an agent seemed a dreary enterprise, and I feel blessed that my misery lasted but six weeks.

Spring in #Vermont: We got a dump of 14-16 inches of heavy wet snow, and were house bound April 4 & 5. When is spring coming?
But it was a great opportunity to finish making a final pass -- clean-up and tightening -- on #HiramFalls
I just sent out the finished manuscript to a potential agent who asked to see it.
Wish me luck!

Thought I was just about done with the draft of my first novel. Opened it up today to go over the entire thing again, promising myself that I'd only make minor edits, if any. A promise broken as early as the prologue... 😅

Book Review: The Secret Diaries of Charles Ignatius Sancho
A bravura act of 'critical fabulation' by Paterson Joseph, the book was well-reviewed when it was first published in 2022, but didn't get the coverage it deserved.

The most common weakness in drafts I've read (and I've read thousands) is that storylines or relationships are set up, but don't pay off, or pay off, but aren't clearly set up. If everything you set up pays off and everything that pays off is set up, you are well on the way to a viable draft. (PS, it doesn't have to be a gun!)
