Just making you work, honey. Now, back to editing Teddi and David. You remember them don't you? Last I read, they were caught in suspended sex, that's gotta hurt.

Hints on doing backstory. I'm beginning to see that I need to go back and re-read my three books, and really dig through them with a fine-toothed comb. There's an AWFUL lot of stuff I'm learning that I probably didn't do right the first time around. That's what I get for editing and proofreading my own stuff. Problem is, I don't get enough time or story in at my local writers' group to get a really in-depth critique. I've GOT to find a good critique partner! I've GOT to! Okay, Santa, bring me a GOOD critique partner! Thanks! Oh, don't worry about the reindeer droppings - I'll just sweep them up after they dry. No, really, it's okay. Thanks again! See you next year! Merry Christmas, Sloane - hope you and all yours have a WONDERFUL holiday! Um, backstory. Hints on doing backstory.

I'd love to move the straw, but Santa's actually a little shy, which is why he's got his hat partially covering his face. But, when you can look at his body, who needs to see the face?

Get back to your blog on Torrid and could you move the straw just a tad? Diva, I'm in shock and highly disappointed. You girls all ready know how to work the backstory and do a damned fine job.

I'm always afraid I'm not putting in enough backstory. Sigh. Yeah...I got nothing. And no...I'm not sick. Kewl stuff. I’m always afraid I’m not putting in enough backstory. Sigh.

It's always very tempting to dump the information on the reader, to get it all out of the way. But it's not the best way to go about it. Great stuff, Sloane.
