Good Morning and Happy Monday!

Well, it’s light outside, so I guess it’s classified as morning, and since I woke up, that’s a plus too. But really, where did that expression come from? Just curious. I’m not going to digress into exploring the saying — well, not right this very second … don’t worry. *laughs*

So, I have been doing a lot of thinking, and I’ve come to a decision — I think. Fractured Moon is going to be re-worked and re-configured. Since writing Fractured Moon, Finding Time, and learning every day, I believe this is the wisest course. Fractured Moon could be a great novel. Instead, it’s just all right. And quiet frankly, all right isn’t good enough. You feel me?

The story and plot are unusual, and I know that what I want to bring to the table is different and unique, but I need to do a better job explaining a few key plot points, and I need to re-work a few scenes as well as alter sentence structure where it’s choppy. All the little details that will make the reading experience more enjoyable.

I’m toying with pulling the novel completely off the shelves versus re-writing and leaving Fractured for sale as is. If I do that, I will lower the price to $.99 or make it free, I haven’t decided yet. Food for thought. I wonder if other authors experience this, or if I am alone on my island. I realize at some point you have to let your novel go, and keep writing, but if you know you can fix something — shouldn’t you? What do you think? I know as a reader I’d appreciate an author who fixes issues to make their work better. But as an Author — sigh. The thought is daunting.

When I started on this writing journey I knew two things. Aurelia and Ceithin were unique, and I had a lot to learn about writing. I’ve been writing for a long time, but some of the more technical aspects elude me in my foggy sleep deprivation. I have strengths and weaknesses, and all I can strive for is to write better with each book.

I’ve have been. Finding Time is a much easier read. And my current work in progress with Benjamin is phenomenal. (Because Ben is phenomenal, and there is no value I can place on what I learn from him.) I am continually amazed and humbled that he is writing with me, and teaching me. Doesn’t hurt our novel is going to knock your socks off, either. *Laughs*

So, at any rate, my head is achy, and I haven’t slept, but I am renewed with a sense of purpose. To make Fractured Moon worthy of my readers.

In the mean time, read Finding Time or pick up Booty Call — written by Benjamin and Michelle Chatton *Mwah*
