Jen, congratulations! I'm looking forward to reading Chaos Magic.
What if my project refuses to fledge? The balloon's string gets tangled on my wrist, or the grenade's pin stays stubbornly stuck? I've done a dozen read throughs, three rounds of editing, two rounds of beta readings (thanks, Jen!) and the story refuses to be finished. How do I know when it's time to commend the story to its fate?
Well said! All of it. Every time I release a work, my vulnerability tentacles are quivering. Ten books. And it’s always the same. Thanks for reminding us writers that we are not alone.
Congrats on the contract, Jen! Hope the release goes well! All sound advice in this post!
Jen, you are a great writing teacher for all aspects of the process.
