Priceless

Because the Longest Journey Begins with the First Step
Starting to Feel Real

A couple days after Christmas I received a gift from my awesome-sauce editor, Rhonda Helms. She finished the edits for my book.

It’s a moment I’d been equally anticipating and dreading. After reviewing them I was reminded of just how lucky I am to have her as my editor. She totally gets my story and characters.

She’d given me a hint of that in her introductory email to me.

One of the things that really drew me in to your story and made me want to acquire it is that I loved your heroine and her story. She’s strong, flawed, empathetic, and her romantic arc is compelling (along with a delicious hero and that sizzling-hot tension between them). And of course, your secondary characters are unique and fun.

But after I read her notes, suggestions, and advice I was even more convinced. She asked all the right questions, but still allowed room for my voice and vision. My story is so much stronger for it.

We all need someone like that in our corner. So as we approach what promises to be an exciting new year, that is what I wish for you.

To a year filled with priceless moments shared with people who really and truly get us!

 

Is there someone in your work or personal life who totally gets you?
