My book
So after putting my book aside for almost a month, I am taking Terry Brooks' advice found in his book Sometimes the Magic Works and am cutting characters like play directors or movie directors cut characters. These characters are filler material and don't advance the story any. Thus, when I do this I may have to rewrite nearly a hundred or so pages but I think my book the Ataxian chronicles will be better for it. Also, I wish I could get Shawn Speakman's advice on the next part. My subtitle Rise of the Lich is practically the subtitle of the WoW book Arthas: Rise of the Lich King. Should I change it or not? I don't know. Despite our differences and some hard words by me and possibly him as well, I still highly respect is knowledge of the writing industry. I just wish he knew how much I still respect him and value his advice. I wish we could have been friends. Alas, some things are not meant to be. ******
Oh, well, I'll toss a coin on it and according to Sharon Nixon, co-owner of Philips Emporium LLC publishers usually change the name of books anyway.******
Still hoping you get published Shawn
