Hi Michael,

Please forgive the delay... Okay, to answer your question, I'm a task oriented person. So when I start a new project, it literally consumes me until I'm done, usually writing everyday as close to 1500 words or more as I can get. Then I continue on to the 2nd draft and the revising/editing process.

Another oldie but goodie revisited…

As a writer, I am forever reading and not just for pleasure.

So I spent most of yesterday reworking the first page of my current work-in-progress, all in an attempt to add a really good “ho
