As with all things, the first out of the gate anything is usually the most nerve wracking.
Same for us. Robin and I, T.J., would like to welcome you to our little world of helping authors achieve their dreams.
We know, it's enough to make you bald, bathe in chocolate, or become a regular at the liquor store looking for Hemingway.
Our goal for this blog is to share tips and tricks, making it easier for you, the writer. And, if possible, give you a few laughs and giggles. I'll share all of my faux pas. We are all human, we just have a need to share those alternate realities with the world.
Let's face it, the world thinks writing a book is easy, and publishing even easier. They don't see the bitten nails, squirrely hairdos, rumpled clothes, and fingers still itching to type more words. Most of the world doesn't understand the need to talk to characters, twist into rather compromising positions, or the constant worry it just isn't good enough.
We are there, too. I have a book in the query trenches, and I'm fairly sure Gmail is the one sending me emails in all caps, "STOP THE REFRESHING!" Robin is revising two books at once with another in the query trenches. I'm trying to finish the first novella in a series due to be self published this summer.
Yeah, we get it.
Don't be shy. Drop us an email. Ask questions. Offer up suggestions about blog posts you'd love to see. And we won't lie to you. If we don't have the answer, by golly, we'll find it for you.
Welcome to Cliffhanger Editing.
