1. The fun blank page: yippee! A first meet, hero and heroine, OMG I love this book
2. 25,000 words in: Wait a second. Who’s the bad guy?
3. 50,000 words in: Okay, I figured it out. This will come together.
4. 70,000 words in: My career is over, this book doesn’t make sense, I’m going to tank.
5. 95,000 words: Well, it’s finished. I can fix it in copy edits
6. Editorial edits: Hmmm. Good point. The heroine can’t magically fly, now can she? And a penis can’t do that from across a room. Fixed!
7. Copy edits: I’m liking this book. It actually came together.
8. Page proofs: It’s too late to change anything. What did I do? My career is over. Maybe I can open up a yogurt shop with Joanna Wylde. So long as she’s in charge of the caramel, she’s on board.

. Release day: I think I’m gonna throw up.
10. After release week: Whew! That was kind of fun. Let’s write another book…

XO 
I’m writing now so I loved this Rebecca! Can’t wait for your new releases!!!
It is good to keep a sense of humor about the craft
I’ve read most of your books and loved them. Now I’m struggling to find something in the same genre to read and I keep hating what I’m finding. Now I’m trying to write my own! Thanks for the tips hope maybe one day I’ll be publish and I’d feel blessed if you read and enjoy something I had written.
That’s great – good luck with the writing!
