Hello and welcome, Kelly.
I feel like I spend barely any time writing and tons of time revising. I suppose that is ok, because it gives my ideas for novels I haven't yet written time to grow.
My oldest son and I were in a book club together, then he decided he was too cool for a book club. The club was small, just four families. They wanted to stay together, so they encouraged me to come without the kid. I find the feedback from the kids invaluable. They talk about what they like and don't like in the books they read. I feel like this is a goldmine for an author like me...a straight line into the minds of readers. Awesome.
