So glad you enjoyed the trailer! Rosemary - Hi! The blog on my website runs a little closer to the TARA presentation. I'm so glad you enjoyed the trailer. Circle of Seven Productions (COS Productions) did that for me. They did fab! :thumbsup: As to how many times I polished my manuscript...um...lots? I am a constant polisher. I circle...start on page 1, write. Next day, start on page 1, read, revise, continue. So I polish a lot. and whenever I spent too long away from the beginning of the book, I'd go back, re-read, polish/tighten a bit more (always looking to make the darn thing smaller!) add a little more, etc. I'm trying to streamline this process - haven't managed it yet. :posting: Hi Estella, thanks for the welcome.

I truly enjoyed your TARA presentation last month- now I have it in written format! I LOVED your trailer. Who designed it and put it all together? How many times did you polish your books (after you re-wrote them twice and cut them down)? Rosemary HI Cheryl:

It's so great to see so much success coming your way! I can't wait to read the books--once I get through my own freakin' deadline! :fryingpan: I loved your comments about Timelines. With writing NASCAR romances these days, I'm always consulting the race schedule and praying nothing changes before my books get printed. And your reminder of how scenes come down to minutes really hit home for me. It's the little details that always strike me as most important in world building. Wishing you major, major success, Wendy P.S. Hello to all you super Plot Monkeys! Love the site! :snoopy: :cheer: Yeah, C.L.! It’s so great to see so much success coming your way!
