Work on Your Writing Habit

For the most part, writers work at home and have to be very self disciplined. There is no clock to punch at the beginning and end of the work day, there is no defined work day except the one the writer sets. To that end, it's very easy for life to get in the way of writing.

Ways by HG Nadel to Make Your Book Editing Experience Better

Many new authors are filled with fear of the editing process. They envision a witch with a red pen, gleefully butchering their precious manuscript. Actually, working with a professional book editor can be a richly rewarding and enjoyable experience, if you have the proper mind-set and preparation. Follow these steps suggested by HG Nadel a writer to ensure that your editing process is smooth and affordable: 1. Edit your manuscript yourself. Editors charge by the hour.
