Laz, good luck! My first novel is now in the hands of copy editors and should be up soon, too. I know the kind of toil it takes to produce a really good novel. People have no idea the blood, swear, and tears!

Laz, good luck!

Are you self-publishing? I am!

I didn't use an editor. It seems I have enough writing skill that I could serve as an editor for others. 😊

For me, at least, it involves almost no effort. I sit down, imagine the characters, and they take on a life of their own. In my first novel, I had a plotline sketched out, but the characters decided things were going to unfold differently. It was quite breathtaking.
