@jmdickson1 You are so sweet! That is so kind of you to say, and much appreciated!

A thought for today from Psalm 28:7 (NIV):

[Emily Rodmell @EmilyRodmell]

Spoiler alerts are for readers, not editors and agents.

Editors and agents want spoilers in submissions. Don't tease us about a huge secret reveal in your book. Tell us what it is in your query.

That's what will sell us on your book.

@AlanaKCollins did an excellent narration of my debut novel, RWA Rita Award Finalist book, Grounded Hearts. She has the sweetest Irish accent. And what a beauty! #novels #amreading #audiobooks #romancenovels

It is possible to revise a book too much.

Sometimes, the only way to move forward is move on to the next book.

It's not a failure if you have to put a book aside.

It's part of the process of becoming an author.

You grow with each book.

Congrats @davalynnspencer #canoncitychronicles

[Emily Rodmell @EmilyRodmell]

Starting your book in the right place is key.

Things to avoid:

Too much backstory dumped in the opening paragraphs.

Too much internal thoughts before your character meets or talks to someone else.

Interactions with other characters than don't set up the story.
