"Writing is an adventure. To begin with, it is a toy and an amusement. Then it becomes a mistress, then it becomes a master, then it becomes a tyrant. The last phase is that just as you are about to be reconciled to your servitude, you kill the monster and fling him to the public." Winston Churchill

Editors
One of the hardest steps in writing a book is finding the right editor. I truly enjoy being an English teacher, but my passion is literature not grammar. Needless to say when I begin writing my concerns don't contain the words comma splice or verb agreement. Creating vivid content is my forte. I leave the mechanics to Chase, my husband. He has been a good wonderful book editor for me. The way he "dissects" my sentences is amazing. I really should be thanking his high school English teacher. She has made him a grammar freak guru. I'm extremely blessed to have his constant support. The advice he gives is completely constructive and is making my book publisher worthy. I just have to find a publisher. Any takers? A little note to all my writers out there: Don't be afraid to let someone "criticize" your material. A good writer takes the criticism and applies it to their craft.
