Seriously, where the h*ll can I find one? Ahhh...I bet there's an APP for that! I've also come to realize that perhaps I just may need a new editor(bummer-they are worse to find than a gynecologist-4 real. How hard is it to find one that will dim the lights, wear a Stetson and refer to me as Miss Sidda Lee, while doing the exam?).
My book has been edited then edited again BUT yet "a few grammatical" errors have been mentioned-I'm the first to admit I wanna write. I wanna worry about, fret over, dwell on the STORY. I want an editor to fix mistakes. Not because I don't worry about the book but because I get in a spaced out existence while typing away.
For one thing I'm an insomniac and write mostly at night until the wee hours of the morning. Now, that probably helps my weird creativity flow and my inhibitions dwindle-it also means I write fast and I spell the dumbest words wrong(I assure you I know how to spell). I just make really stupid mistakes. Thus dumb confession being out in the open-makes me comfortable to say that's why we Indie Authors pay to be edited. Not because I love to feel like a worthless, incompetent, not smarter than a 5th grader while the editor sends me the "sea of red" edits to be made.
Here's the real kicker...reviewer said it was a 4.5*'s outta 5*'s. Other Authors quit "virtually throwing stones at me". I know it's a good number but I think I was spoiled with the first reviews and blogs about my book. I'm such a baby, right? Okay, okay...I heard the collective "YES" through my IPhone.
No more whining now onto the woes and h*ll no's of Facebook life! I love social media-to a point. I'm a nosey girl so I love to look at pictures and read statuses. It's like watching "Girls Gone Wild" then flipping the channel to "Maury Povich show" all on display in my "Feed". But now getting more Friends and likes and followers the creepers are starting to creep out. Anything from pecker pictures, request for cyber sex, explicit photos, to people requesting I help them learn English.
I gotta say though I am feelin' some love though. More friends, followers, likes daily? FRICKIN' AWESOME! Oh, by the way I LOVE the emails too. I feel kinda special and not ride the short bus special like normally.
BOOK UPDATES!!!
My first swim in the Novella pool will come afloat within the next 2 weeks. ~Sweet As Candy~ is nearly complete after being edited will be available. ~Steel Horse Cowboy~ will be out in August. Then I will officially have series! Yaaay! By the way it's 2:40 a.m. Here and I wasn't trying to prove my "dumb mistakes" I make writing in the middle of the night BUT GUESS WHO CAN'T GET THIS UNDERLING TO STOP? Aarrgghh!
