Welcome!
~I am currently in the first parts of writing, A Broken String of Pearls which is what my blog will manly focus on; the progress of my writing. At the moment I have chapter one done and part of chapter 2, but I am still editing and re-working them constantly! Which seems to be a never-ending process! It takes time away from writing other sections of the story, which is in a way is okay because I kind of enjoy editing! But I am always not sure if I should save all the editing and re-working till I am done writing the whole novel or do it everytime I write a section?

Are you aware of the book " the tzarina's daughter".im currently reading it and it sounds similar to "string of broken pearls", tatiana's life and escape from russia in her own words,also fictional but fact based. Check it out. Kind regards and good luck with your book,Anna
ReplyDeleteMy name is Patricia Helena Navarro Ocampo (from Argentina).At present I am reading The Romanovs by Sebag Montefiori.I have read Nicholas and Alexandra by Massie,Former People;the End of the Russian Aristocracy by Ddouglas Smith,Catherine the Great by Massie and Prince of Princes :the Life of Potemkin by Simon Sebag Montefiori. The two last ones are still waiting for me to get there in time before the centennial of the Russian Revolution is over (1917-2017).
ReplyDeleteI am swept by the magic of these historical stories.
As on the subject of endless editing may I quote the greates Argentine writer,Jorge Luis Borges, "I´d never finish correcting if the manusccript would not be taken forcefully from my own hands by the editor.
The subject of your novel sounds very interesting
