					<description><![CDATA[When I write I add specific words to my sentences, knowing full well that one adjective too many can be too distracting to the main point of the sentence. The sentence may lose it&#8217;s meaning, or even lose impact on the reader. It never occurred to me that there were words with double meanings where the meanings may mean the OPPOSITE of what you are trying to say. I found this list of 14 words on www.mentalfloss.com. Words like trim, seed, and even the word fast! Each one has two meanings. Here is a link to the site: http://www.mentalfloss.com/article/49834/14-words-are-their-own-opposites Regina]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Last night I finished the last scene my book , &#8220;Enduring Service.&#8221; It is the third book in my Colony series of humorous paranormal romances. Book #2, &#8220;United Service&#8221;, just came back from my line editor this past weekend. So I&#8217;ll work on that while I put &#8220;Enduring Service&#8221; aside and give my mind some time to distance itself from my writing. It was good timing that I found this article of the 7 deadly sins of self-editing. http://www.writersdigest.com/online-editor/the-7-deadly-sins-of-self-editing?et_mid=607208&#038;rid=234842913 I do agree with the 7 sins and thought I&#8217;d share it with my writing buddies. 🙂 Regina Morris]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Every writing class I&#8217;ve taken has emphasized the importance of &#8220;the hook&#8221; in your first chapter. The instructors always say that the first chapter is the most important one. Next, it&#8217;s the first 25-50 pages that need to be polished. Why? Because agents stop reading after about 10 seconds of glancing at your work. I can&#8217;t blame them. They get so many manuscripts each day. It&#8217;s like an employer looking at a resume. The first few seconds are crucial if you want the job. You can flower up your writing, you can send a beautiful query letter &#8230; but if the first chapter isn&#8217;t as polished and as professional looking as you can make it, it won&#8217;t cut in this fast-paced publishing world. I found this article about the top 7 reasons agents stop reading your first chapter and thought I&#8217;d share it here on my blog. I&#8217;m happy to report that my books are not falling into these traps. http://www.writersdigest.com/editor-blogs/guide-to-literary-agents/7-reasons-agents-stop-reading-your-first-chapter]]></description>
