Time again for an IWSG post. What is that you say?
Insecure Writers Support Group. Started by Alex J. Cavanuagh where we share
encouraging news or our insecurities. Lord knows I have a lot of insecurities
and sometimes I panic. To read what others have written go here.
IWSG Aug Question: What are your pet peeves when
reading/writing/editing?
I spent years learning the craft of writing.
Therefore, I don’t have much time for those who are lazy and never bothered to
learn. You know immediately when you start to read a book if this is true.
Backstory, POV shifts, sometimes in the middle of the sentence, information
dump, etc. That being said, I’m willing to help others learn if they are
willing to put in the effort.
In other news. If you know me, then you know money is
tight. I have saved up enough now to buy ISBN’s, have the paper copy of my book
cover done and start a web page by mid-August. In September, I’ll pay for
formatting. This may take more than one month to reach all markets. Book 2 will
be ready for my editor in September as well. I hope to release it come
December. But, ultimately, that will depend on money for my editor and book
cover.
This has been a long time coming with multiple delays.
Family is first. Sometimes I just have to put food on the table.
How about you? Do you have a pet peeve when reading or
editing books? Do you have some exciting news? Do share.
