One of the advantages of working on more than one project is when you get tired (“I just can’t look on this again”) of book 1, you can go to book 2, just for a change of pace and text.
A recent online review of my latest book, Loyalty, read: “ … since most of [Avi’s] books are short stories … I felt it was a little too long.”
Some twenty-three days after the presumptive official publication of my latest book, Loyalty, I received actual copies of the book.
I can only speak for myself but these days as I sit at my desk and try (emphasis, try) to write while a wicked war rages is Europe, is not easy.
In all this, I am urging that there be nothing about your manuscript that inhibits the reader from reading it. That is, after all, the point.
One of the questions I am almost always asked is, “Do you ever have writers’ block?” I heard it just the other day.
