Hi, there!

My names Candice, Candy to my friends, I'm a mum of 3 and of course new here.

I've been working on my WIP for around 18 months, and if I'd known how much editing and rewriting it would need I may have never started it and just stuck to writing out my stories, getting bored half way and giving up.

I'm not new to writing boards however, and am a member of a couple, I enjoy sharing ideas, doing crits and am no stranger to having my worked pulled apart, but I've done my fair share of the pulling too!

Look forward to getting to know everyone and reading your pieces

Welcome. Half the battle of writing anything is editing it. Over time, you get better at these things. You know what they say about 10,000 hours...anyway, which genre and age group are you writing?

Welcome. Editing and rewriting can take a while. Just remind yourself that all that time is making your book even better.

Its a fantasy romance, with erotic scenes, so purely adult only :D

Thanks for the warm welcome. Editing really is the hard work, and we all thought writing a full length novel was difficult!
