IWSG Wednesday


It's IWSG  Wednesday!  Can you believe it's March 1?
The first Wednesday of every month is officially Insecure Writer’s Support Group day. Members post about their  doubts and fears, discuss struggles and triumphs, and offer words of encouragement to others who are struggling. 


The IWSG March Question: Have you ever pulled out a really old story and reworked it? Did it work? 
It depends on one's definition of really old. Like Steven King's UNDER THE DOME?  If so, yes I pulled one out and no it didn't work out.  

I have been re-releasing books that were published several years ago.
The latest: Boji Stones
 
I love this cover (designed by pixelstudio at Fiverr).  It reminds me of Donna's Gracie at the Gather Blog. 

Marnie  has a secret that could rock the modern world.  Two men have discovered it.  One is a scholar.  One is a madman. 

Available at Amazon.

Happy birthday, Faux Paw!
Cool that you've going back and re-releasing some books. Almost scary how our writing changes over the years, isn't it?

Pat Hatt said...

I love that you are re-releasing books. How cool is that? That is interesting about re-working a book. Thank you for the shoutout and how sweet is your Kitty with a birthday. I had a shorthaired one like that named Tux.

L. Diane Wolfe said...

I've rereleased mine several times.

Happy birthday to your kitty.

Jamie Ghione said...

Happy birthday to the cat.

Sandra Cox said...

Hi, EC!!!! So glad to see you.

Yolanda Renée said...

Happy Birthday, so cute!

Good luck with the re-release!
Sometimes a rewrite works, and sometimes not! Maybe next time!

Love this: "Marnie has a secret that could rock the modern world. Two men have discovered it. One is a scholar. One is a madman." I'm already spellbound and I haven't even started reading it!

Re-releasing work makes perfect sense. I hope they are doing well. :-)

Faux Paw was named by the HH because she was always committing one:)
