Are you the source of the medical background? I use my sister an ICU RN.
Thanks for the writing tip!
Hi Yvonne,
I have a lovely nurse friend who proof reads to make sure I’ve got the medical detail right! 🙂
A friend might be better. While my sister shares her anecdotes with me an keeps me technically actuate, she says away from reading the full manuscript.
Love your stuff!,
Thanks!
Good job Karin!
Thanks Katrina! 🙂
Oooh lovely to ‘see’ you in person,Karin! Great tip and one that it’s taken me months to realise as I stagger towards the end of my book. Xx
Hi Maggie,
I was so nervous stepping out from behind the keyboard lol
Yeah, that final tip took me rounds and rounds of revisions to realise!
Good luck with your book xx
WTG, Karin!
Thanks Amy 😀

I spent the entire shutdown working. Had no time to wind down. I didn’t see my son much when school shutdown. My one co worker was told to stay home for 3 weeks so I picked up her hours. This year has been really crappy.
Ugh, Janell. Here’s hoping the rest of your summer is better.
Thanks for the info, Carol! Everyone is different in how they deal with the shutdown! I stay at home all the time since I don’t work so I haven’t been too effected but my shopping and errands sure have been effected!
Valri, I’ve been doing most of my shopping online. My local Target is still low on some items – mostly cleaning supplies. Grocery store is pretty much back to normal. Most of the dining in our town is outdoor. I can’t imagine have school-age kids!
Wow–getting your creative process on track must have been daunting–especially with “extra-large dog” glad to have you home. You don’t like coffee–I love coffee and have enjoyed my fortifying 2 cups in the morning even more than usual! How as COVID affected your story lines and characterizations? Best Wishes for all releases!
Interesting question, Virginia. You’ll have to tell me if the tone of my “COVID” books changed any! LOL
Life has changed so much! My dad passed Feb 2. The assisted living facility my folks were at went into hardcore lockdown the beginning of March. Mom couldn’t leave her apartment for 4 months! She was on the third floor, Will be 89 in two months & doesn’t use the phone. My husband and I remodeled the lower level completely and moved her in with us July 1. What a life change and difficult transition for the 3 of us! But we’re working thru it!
