A couple of weeks ago while still in Half Moon Bay, we were talking with friends over coffee about the persecution of Catholics during the reign of Hitler’s Nazi Germany and later in Bosnia, Sherrie replied that Catholics and Christians were being persecuted today, here and  in the world at large. Being the classically insulated […]

About Lin Wilder

I, Claudia is done.

About a week ago I sent the first draft to my readers. It always feels strange when you know a book is done. The arguing with yourself about length, “too long” or in this case, “too short” takes up time and energy but you know when the story is done.

So taking deep breaths and then sending it out for critique is the first of the many things writers do while grabbing our self-protective shields and readying for the onslaught.

I have never received such excellent feedback on a first draft. My reply is a most inarticulate “Wow!”

Just a few minor editorial changes and then…

  • To Laura
  • And then to Sally, proofreader.
  • Then to Nancy for publishing.

One that I have learned must be pushed- but not too hard. Or there will be unintended errors. Too many times I have ignored what I know and pushed because of scheduled events. Like the November 2nd forum here at home.

We have just finalized the details and if you are in the area, I hope to see you on Friday, November 2nd from 3pm to 5pm.

As always, thanks for checking out About Lin Wilder!
