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.
About Me
- Rosemary Morris
- I was fortunate to be born and brought up in the South East of England. This area with its varied countryside, towns and places of interest inspired the locations in my novel, Tangled Hearts. Today, I live in Hertfordshire. When I look up from my computer I have a view of my organic garden in which I grow fruit, herbs and vegetables; beyond the hedge is a green and beyond that woodland that has survived since mediaeval times. In good weather, I sit outside and work on my laptop drawing inspiration from the peaceful surrounding. I’ve always enjoyed reading historical novels and historical non-fiction and am so pleased to have a novel set in Queen Anne's reign accepted. Whenever I mention Queen Anne, most people are uncertain and want to know who she was, so, I hope you will find Tangled Hearts interesting. Time spent with my family, who live near me in Hertfordshire, England, is precious and my grandchildren share most of my interests. One of them, a six year old, is keen to help me write my next novel for you.
