Revision

Recently, I mentioned that when I work on the final revision of a novel I get replace as many adverbs as possible with a strong verb.

Something else I check is how many times I write 'and'. It is amazing how often I use the word and how much stronger the prose is when I eliminate the word as often as possible.

And now, to get on in my garden having worked on my new novel, Monday's Child, the sequel to Sunday's Child a traditional Regency novel published as an e-book by MuseItUp Publishing.
