Today, I share why the Chemical Engineer was right and how I didn’t listen to him but listened to L. Penelope. 🙂 It’s related to the formatting of the #TheLeftoverBride title and how to make it more “searchable”.

I also answer questions from Sam (on Instagram) who asked: what was the hardest part about writing #TheLeftoverBride? I added the hardest part about self-publishing it…

I go more into details about:

• The revision process (cutting and reworking the beginning)
• Deepening and adjusting the character arc for Ryan
• Writing steamy scenes, ensuring lots of emotions.
• Managing expectations…

Next week, I’ll talk about book translations/marketing, don’t hesitate to ask me a question per email or record a question…
