#writerscoffeeclub 13 -- Joy of Writing Four years ago I've began work on my first novel, #HiramFalls, now in its 9th draft. My editor loves it but has me doing more work on it. My core readers -- 5 angels who've read every draft and one newbie -- say it is nearly there. But their standards are as high as mine. I don't think of it as work. I love putting on headphones (Julia Kent -- Cello; perfect) and diving in to revise or create new. My wife says I'm really grumpy when I'm not writing.
