Posting a rewrite of Wildcat Fall

Dear Readers,

When I took a break from writing Wildcat Fall, I ended up rewriting the story from the beginning. It's working better. But I was confused about how to reintroduce a story from the start.

So, I reinserted the newest version in place of the older one.

I know that sounds complicated, but it would be helpful to start again from the beginning.

So, this is killing me. I've written almost 40,000 words and twenty chapters of the book and I'm dying to get some feedback. But posting it here didn't go so well.

I've thought of simply sending out a PDF of the rough draft to some readers interested in just reading. No proofing or editing, just a read through for some feedback.

Does that work for anyone?

Dear Readers, I have inserted a rewrite in place of the earlier publication. It's still rough.

The last day in the hospital was a blur. Jenn and Amy helped her pack up her cosmetics and toiletries. Jenn had brought her an outfit that would be comfortable for the ride home. Amy had told Conor to wait in the parking lot until she called to tell him they were on their way.

Dear Readers,

I took some time off and started rewriting Wildcat Fall from the beginning. I got some great feedback and took the liberty of changing things up. So what you remember reading is gone and replaced by a newer version. It's still needy, but hopefully, this works.

Needing help and advice

In my next book, my main character has her SRS.

Since this is not in my ballpark, I need advice and help to portray an accurate description of everything. Google only gets you so far.

I'd like to create a dialogue with others who could look at what I've written or help me with questions.

Thank you for reading, and hopefully, I will hear back.

Dear Readers, This is a coming-of-age tale to help celebrate the publishing of Wildcat Summer as a Kindle book. I have gone back and cleaned up the whole first version and continued. It's slow going, but I promise there will be more. I hope you continue to enjoy this offering, and thanks for your patience.

I started using Grammarly, https://www.grammarly.com , three years ago as a spelling checker for my Apple computer. It was cumbersome but effective. As time has passed, it has become streamlined and works everywhere I write.

Teri had promised the Cats that she would hang up the garment bags from Jersey Girl and look through them. She wanted to ignore her promise and move on with the important things, but finally figured, ‘What could it hurt?’ And truthfully, she could look at the women in their eyes and nod.

Dear Readers,

If you’re reading A Wildcat Summer, you know we’ve reached the halfway point in the story. I need to pause and say thanks to the wonderful people who work behind the scenes to keep everything going here at BigCloset.

Without their support there never would have been The Wildcats. After seven years of posting here, I just hope you remember them as you empty your pockets into the change jar every night.

I gave Erin & BigCloset the rights & the proceeds from the book Taylor a while back. Buy that book for them!

As they stood on the darkened stage looking out and watching the crowd order drinks and talk, Lisa turned around speaking quietly. “So, this is our last night at the place where the Wildcats were born. So many years ago, Robert let us entertain our friends while we found our sound.”

Gina smiled. “Tiny little wildcats with no claws, meowing to be fed, barely having their eyes open. So cute and cuddly.”

Zoe said it straight out, “We need to show these fans how much we appreciate them and love this place. Ideas?”

Dear Friends,

Thank you for reading and writing. (Especially the writing part!) It's great to hear your opinions and how this affected you. I knew I was walking on thin ice here. But, it seemed like the right time. Excuse the mistakes in this portion. My spelling checkers, three, do not like slang and are always trying to turn my stories into business letters or dissertations. That's not how the Cats talk. So ignore the spelling or grammatical errors cause sometimes I'm 'toopid'
