#IWSG ReReading Works


Shout-out to Alex and the awesome co-hosts for today: J Lenni Dorner, Victoria Marie Lees, and Sandra Cox!


February 4 question -


Many writers have written about the experience of rereading their work years later. Have you reread any of your early works? What was that experience like for you?

I reread my first two existence books before starting on the third. I absolutely love doing that. It's wonderful having the characters in my head. It's also great to remind myself of the little dots that I plan to connect in the next books. 


I shared my latest (pending) cover on my #blog The feedback was a want of a cave opening. The title cave is deep underwater 🤦 (Book 1 cover showed ch3 location Book 2 cover ch 19 location) This, just before they dive. Thoughts? 💭 #booksky #novelwriting #bookcover

Recieved this email about Writing Book Reviews As An Author: Inspiration To Make It Easier Amazon ~ Barnes And Noble

Vickie Boff - Marketing.
I'm sure the email is mostly AI. She probably never read my book. But it said some nice things, even if they are fake.
