From time to time, participate in innovative improvisational writing exercises. It's all fodder for fiction!

Surprisingly, I am invigorated to dive back into this manuscript. I have been working on novel number two for some time now, and the distance from Double Out and Back has granted me objectivity necessary to improve the prose. The changes are not huge, but the meticulous detail and agonizing over the best way to craft each paragraph, sentence, phrase, and word become a labor of love.

All of this means I am one step closer to publication. Hooray! I can’t wait for you all to read it when it comes out.

by Lisa Lipkind Leibow

coming soon from Red Rose Publishing (mainstream fiction)

Last month, my publisher added my title to its website list of Coming Soon e-books, along with a blurb and a short bio of me. It feels so great to see that information up there.

Every step closer to publication is amazing. This week, I took another thrilling step. Red Rose Publishing assigned an editor to work with me on my manuscript. After the initial rush of excitement that this is moving forward, I froze in my chair.

Oh…hmmm….now the real work begins. It’s actually pretty painless so far. I’m enjoying delving back into this manuscript with fresh eyes. I have been working on the second novel for a long enough time, that I have distance from Double Out and Back. The good news: I still like the novel. I hope you will too.

I’ll continue to fill you in as I get closer to publication.
