Wr...I agree wholeheartedly on the editing comment. Writers NEED good editing to tighten every aspect, which will raise the energy level. I hate it when authors I love are abandoned (editing-wise) by their publishing houses. Good editors are unsung heroes. They're our makeup artists, hiding all our flaws.ELENA SANTANGELOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03257788794914218924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2856548540095419652.post-35807808779489615382009-08-09T23:38:34.775-04:002009-08-09T23:38:34.775-04:00The ingredient information would be perfect, Elena...The ingredient information would be perfect, Elena, especially if the publisher told us when a new book by a bestselling author has 50% less editing. I've given up three thriller authors I used to love because of this.<br /><br />And maintaining that energy level is critical. I recently read another of my favorite authors who did well until the end of the book. What a terrible place to lose the energy and drag the story on past its natural ending. <br /><br />Of course, it's easy to judge when I'm reading for pleasure, and not so easy to see when I'm doing the writing.Patricia Stolteyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17192369425956406122noreply@blogger.com
