Amy Isan Hey there Mayra! You're not bothering me at all! Otherwise I would just turn these off, lol.

The amazon kindle store has been updated to reflect the paperback length, which is 500 pages. The book is 110,000 words, which by industry standard of 250 words/pg, is about 500 pages.

Sorry it took so long to populate on Amazon. Sometimes the page counts transfer instantly, other times it takes a little longer.

I hope you like it!
Amy Isan Book 5 of my Ruin Outlaws MC series. Should be an awesome ride!
Amy Isan Keep writing. Keep reading. Read and write things you wouldn't normally. Try and brush up on your grammar, but always remember the only purpose for grammar is for clarity. You can break the rules to make a statement, as long as things are still clear and make sense. Once things get confusing, then it's time to step back and go back to the rulebook.

Read your work aloud to get a feel for it. Have a robot read your work so you can hear mistakes your brain would correct.

Persistence is key. Writing 500 words a day is better than writing 10k once a month. By about 5000 words more. Find your comfort zone, and dig in :)
Amy Isan I try and take a breather mostly. I'll step back and examine what is driving me crazy about a current book or plot I'm working on. I can almost always narrow it down to something that I haven't quite figured out yet, or just a plot I'm not enjoying. Some tweaking does a lot to make it more fun and power through it.

Generally, the first 1000 words are the hardest everyday :)
