Amazing! I know nothing about traveling all over the country, what a wonderful looking place to explore.

It’s interesting that you get the same trying to sign up to comments on my site 😮 I’m hoping my daughter can help today. If any light is shed I shall let you know!
Thanks for the advice on the editing which I really have taken on board. Your advice was timely as the concerns you outline were already resonating. I have an excellent editor who is ready to take what is ready for her to look so that I am not snowballed. Deep breath, here goes… 🙂

Hmmm, now that’s what happens when I try and sign up to the comments on yours – weird! If you/your daughter find any resolution then I’d be delighted to hear. As a word of advice on the novel bit – don’t hang on too long before getting it off to your editor as they will bring up a whole load of other stuff for you to deal with and you will be rewriting after that stage anyway and can deal with ‘the words’ at that point. I can tell you, from experience, your MS will never feel, to you, that it’s good enough to happily send off…

Thought I was making headway 🙂 I received confirmation to subscribe and follow you, however, when I clicked ‘confirm’ I was told, ‘Your subscription could not be activated, it may have expired’, so somethings up 🙁 Because I am so dippy, I shall have to wait for my daughter’s help this weekend to work out what I’ve probably done wrong- if I don’t manage to sort it out before. But I think I’ve been here before and thought I’d sorted it. I really hope to be on your list soon. I will get there! 🙂
Ha! Sounds like I may have ‘First Novel Problems’. Kind of reassuring, though frustrating!

In reply to Skilbey. I did, thank you Skilbey :-) It feels like it was a long time ago now though. I sympathise with you because it is VERY difficult to let go of that first novel and I tweaked and faffed around with mine for ages before I'd even let anyone else see it. I wish you luck with getting the editing done and we can be determined together in getting our current projects completely and onto the next stage. :-) I really hope you are following too! If you are you should have received a post for a book review this morning? And I love receiving my Monday post from you :-) Thanks for stopping by and commenting, it's much appreciated.

I hope you had a lovely holiday!
This is my first novel and I’m still editing before it heads off to the professional editor, so I’ve yet to go through and pick at all of my crutch words, though I am *very* aware of one!!!! and can think of four more that will certainly need scrutinizing to see if they are appropriate.
Best wishes with your next draft. As an infant (in the babygro stage of writing a novel), I am on my 10th promise that I will finish my edits before September (I really should have finished at the beginning of the year), and am getting frustrated but my determination is galvanising as my life’s backdrop is beginning to settle down.
I really thought I was on your ‘follow’ to receive your posts. I don’t know what happened. I hope I am now. I’ve really appreciated your stopping by on my posts, given how busy you are! Happy drafting. Do come up for air! 🙂

In reply to E. L. Lindley. It was lovely E and I can thoroughly recommend if you ever get the chance. It's the repetition that gets me as well and I wish you well in your tightening up exercise (though I'm not sure why as I love your books!) :-)

A great post G. I’m so envious of your lovely time in Gozo ( I loved your posts last year) I’m currently going through my books to try and tighten them up a bit and don’t even get me started on crutch words 😀
