Adriane: The Sequal... changes


I've had to do some serious rewriting of this one and cut out the parts that were taking us in another direction that became fodder for my fourth book: changed the POV to third person singular... I can’t write from a woman’s point of view… if no one has noticed, I’m not a woman. I can observe women but I am not one… sooooo.

… Also the story had branched off into Gotson’s and Adriane's father's. This caused it to become more of a war-crime/intrigue/mystery story than where I wanted it to go. I'll let the sequel to this one take it there but I want to explore Adriane's addiction and how the enabling of wealth and privilege can be so crippling to recovery. I’ll post the changed manuscript as I go along… now.

Adriane: The sequal to a Taxi Romance

Still in progress. Doing some reconstruction and editing. Have to simplify...simplify... simplify. I can get too convoluted. I have to find a writer's group where I can straighten it out. I am convinced that a writer's group is the best way to edit a piece without having to pay out the nose for the service.
