It’s hard to believe that it’s been six months since I last posted. But I have a really good excuse. I FINISHED THE FUCKER. I finished my new novel and better news, Grove will once again publish. I’ll have more details soon. For now I want to thank my secret weapon in the form of an old friend from my MFA program. She and I swapped pages on a monthly basis for Shred Sisters and again for this book. Her support, encouragement, and ongoing feedback helped immensely. I’ve always encouraged writers to find an “ideal” reader to give feedback. NOT A FAMILY MEMBER, BFF OR LOVER. This needs to be another writer with experience and a degree of objectively. Writing is lonely and tends to make people crazy. I, for one, love the solitude and roller coaster ride, but having a reliable sounding board can make all the difference in your writing life. If you don’t have one, take a writing workshop and find one! Most of all, FTF. It feels amazing.
