The Best Book Is An Edit Book

Hi everyone. I'm finally feeling much better than last week. Last week was a terrible week for me. I had been dealing with a cold which turned into the flu. This sucks being sick and my kids don't care in the least. My nightstand looks like a Target cold/flu aisle.

I'm in the process of taking down my books from Amazon and editing my work. I must admit my whole goal focused from editing my books to seeing my books published on Amazon. Wrong move. I have no idea when my goals changed but I can tell you this. I reviewed my work on Amazon Previewer (which I should've done when I first posted my books but didn't) and was horrified. Not by the story because I believe in these stories but by my use of punctuation (Yes I'm calling myself out). I'm totally shocked no one has written a bad review about this. I must admit no one is perfect. But as I read my books, I cringed and curse myself out. I'm smarter than this. Do not worry I am in the process right now of cleaning up my books better. For anyone out there who is deciding to publish your own books, if you can afford an editor I would suggest you do. Worth the money and saves you time. If you cannot afford an editor my only advice is to edit, edit, edit the best you can. Editing is so important. I believe in my work so I'm taking the time to go over each story. I refuse to put up another book until it's up to good standards. It bothers me for people to pay for something not up to great standards. I have no one to blame for this except myself. What I hope to accomplish with writing is growth. So I'm saying goodbye. No time to keep blogging I have another book to clean up.

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY TO EVERYONE TOMORROW!

I would like to say how deeply sorry I am to Whitney Houston's family. Such a tragedy. Let's keep that family in our prayers. So many of us are leaving too soon. Let's love and take care of one another. Stop worrying about tomorrow and enjoy today. Tomorrow's not promised.
