Put February in the Win column! I passed 50,000 words again, and I’m up for
another great writing month in March. I had a crazy week revising my two
parables for my “Parables for Today” submission. I guess that book is coming
out this Summer. I’ll post the details as I have them.

Writing Tip of the Week:
A good editor is worth his or her weight in…first edition rare
books. (You thought I was going to say ‘gold’ didn’t you. I really do try to
watch the cliché thing.) When looking for an editor, find someone who will
really tell it to you straight and give you ‘tough love’ when you need it. I
have a really tough editor help me disassemble and reassemble two of my stories
this week and though it hurt a little, I ended up with a superior finished
product.
Writing Update:
“Canticle of Night” is finished! The entire thing can be read and
listened to. My editor thought the story came to a satisfying conclusion, but
if you do want more, I’m starting up the next “season” called “Canticle of Dawn”.
It picks up years later in the Canticle Kingdom and tells the backstory of some
of the pivotal characters from “The Canticle Kingdom” and continues the story
from “Canticle of Night”. They have told me that they would like to turn it
into an eBook and an audio book soon.
