I’ve written several, but publishing is slow. However, I’ve got really exciting news coming soon, and you can expect another book from me to be available toward the end of next year. Thank you so much for sharing this with me. Puts a huge smile on my face. 🥰(less)

Still waiting for "False Flat" to hit my Kindle! In the meantime, I finished "The Frozen River" by Ariel Lawhon. It is a very interesting read about a midwife in Maine in 1789 when the courts and judicial system in this country were just being formed. Have you read the book?
Melissa Collings Yay! No, I haven't read that one, but sounds interesting! I'll have to add it to my list!…moreYay! No, I haven't read that one, but sounds interesting! I'll have to add it to my list!(less)

Great book with tons of actionable elements and strategies for approaching and executing developmental editing. It’s not just a series of steps, but a foundation and a mindset. Recommend!

Quotes by Melissa Collings  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth. You have power over your mind—not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength. Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself, in your way of thinking. When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive—to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love.”
