MY WISH FOR YOU
Tuesday, November 12, 2024
Need Help With Your Writing - Try a Developmental Edit!
What I'm offering:
I combine a developmental edit with a content edit to give you a complete written evaluation of your short story, novella, or novel.
Are you having trouble with your plot or creating believable characters? Have a great beginning and an incredible end but keep getting stuck in the middle? Need more conflict but don't know where to add it. I'm here to help.
I will provide an in-depth review of your writing. It'll be focused on improving the content and structure of your short story, novella, novel, or nonfiction book. My primary goal is to help a book have a clear focus. And ensure that the elements, such as tone and style, plot lines, character development, and red herrings, all make sense.
I will compose an editorial letter that takes in the entire perspective of the writing and recommends keeping the piece focused. I will address the following issues:
· Character development
· Dialogue
· Tone or style
· Sentence phrasing
· Pacing concerns
· Setting issues
· Plot holes
A Line Edit is available using 'Track Changes' for another fee, but ALL FEES NEGOTIABLE!
This is not a complete copyedit or proofread regarding grammar.
But any issues found will be pointed out.
Whee! Thank you so much! Your letter made me so happy!
I love working with Renée!
My stories are always stronger with her input. She helps me ensure I’ve “closed the loops” on all the plot points. Her edit notes are thorough, on point, and encouraging.
Thanks for everything, Renée!
I love working with Renée!
Renée always gets the heart of the story. Her edits enhance
my work and add that final polish. Her sense of humour shows up in her notes
and makes it fun to do the editing. Thanks so much, Renée!
Renée showed a fantastic
understanding of my book and the characters. Her suggestions were on point and
helped polish the story while staying true to my vision.
Renée is professional, thorough,
and thoughtful.
Thanks for making my work shine,
Renée!
Jemi Fraser wrote this regarding the Developmental Edit of her novel No Going Back - now available:
Once again, Renée has proven herself to be a fantastic editor. Her work is detailed and so helpful. It’s a pleasure to work with Renée. I love knowing my stories are safe in her hands.
Thanks for the polish, Renée!

I'VE ALWAYS LOVED TREES

I’VE ALWAYS LOVED TREES
So beautiful
as they sway in the breeze
like skeleton
hands
using the
language of the deaf
reminds me of
Jeff
the man hung
until his death
it wasn’t
quick
but mr slick
got what he
deserved
outmaneuvered
by women
his skin, now
thin like linen
those he
denigrated in life
he couldn’t
fight in death
on Halloween
night
at 12:01 AM
the souls he
stole
made quick
work of that fool.
Muhahahaha!

O YE OF LITTLE FAITH

O Ye of
Little Faith
You call us
cute
but we stay
mute
we’re more
than you imagine
spells we cast
with abandon
don’t cross
our path
or ill will
you’ll have
all your days
through
she might be
the witch
but we’re the
true bitch
so don’t
dimiss
for I’ll get
my wish
death won’t be
sweet
as daily
you’ll repeat
the disaster
we fashion
for Halloween
is our passion!
Muhahahahaha!

UNBURIED

UNBURIED
The nights are
chill
the days,
hotter than hell
my bones ache
all due to a
pesky snake
and the soil is
never dry
at least there
are no more flies
but the
comfort of a grave
it’s all so
depraved
to be unburied
but it’s
definitely better than being married!
Muhahahahaha!

SWIPE RIGHT
SWIPE RIGHT
It was a Halloween
dating site
when handsome, despite the mask
caught my
attention
foregoing all
inhibition
he was the one
our first night
would be nothing but fun
I was right
it was a Halloween
to remember
Mr. Handsome,
so easy to dismember
and dinner for all my guests
just so delicious
and oh-so-nutritious.
Muahahaha!

SEANCE

SEANCE
Candlelight
flickers
a few novices
snicker
flowers offer
comfort
a reminder of summer
the medium
enters
takes a seat
at the center
no smile is
offered
even after
mine is proffered
Halloween she
says
a night of
spirit play
will their
presence
be an answer
to prayer
or will you
all become
their prey.
Muahahaha!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
