If I keep it up, I might have to stop using "The Worst Novel Ever Written" as my pet title. I might instead upgrade it to "A Pretty Awful Freakin' Novel".
My pet title was "My Great Novel." I wonder what that says about us... ;)
One little tip that I got from 2 new york times best selling authors... while your writing, if you have a character suddenly pop in, and you need to go back & "weave them in" DON'T DO IT! Make a note or something in a notebook, or right there in your manuscript in BIG RED LETTERS, and then when you rewrite your draft (which you will about a million times), add them into the beginning. Otherwise you'll never finish your first draft. BEST ADVICE EVER. At Least Yvette & I thought so...
