It has been a long past several months. Back in August I started contacting authors and asked the to write a story for kitten and Puppy Dog Tails Tales. I set the deadline for October 31, 2019 for all submissions to be included. Countless authors sent in their stories and I had a difficult time choosing which 100 Jerjoboch Publications would include in this first collaborative work.

Tell a Story, Any Story
One of my favorite teachers in school was our POD teacher—Mr. Schwab. I did because he used to tell us stories about his military experience during WWII. He had been a prisoner of war in Italy and had escaped and spent a night in a haystack on an Italian farm as he made his way back to Allied lines. 
We have several ways that we can hook a reader into our stories. You could write a quote from someone you know or from a famous person. You could write a joke or a riddle or pose a question. You could set a scene. You could use an interesting fact or definition. My favorite way is to tell a story.

When I started writing this blog at the beginning of the year, I also started writing my nonfiction book Beyond the First Draft—Editing Your Novel. I first decided that I was going to write a book and the blog about editing a novel. I knew that the book would include everything from the time I finished the first draft on to the finished product.

At the beginning of this year, I started writing these blog posts about book editing. My plan was and still is to take much of the content of this blog and turn it into a book called: Beyond the First Draft, The Editing Process.
Much of the information that I have written during the past year is going to be in this new book. I have added other information as well. Click here to read more
