Modus Vivendi by Emery Sanborne

One year and approximately two months after I typed the last word, Modus Vivendi has been released into the world. My “first” book and my first release day—it’s as thrilling as it is a relief. As I’m certain many of you know too well, writing is the easy part; it’s what comes next involves the real work. Every author has an Achilles’ heel, and I learned that mine is most definitely the synopsis. I have never loathed a piece of my own writing more than I do that. Give me a choice between writing a synopsis and repeating organic chemistry, I’ll choose the latter every time. Hell is writing a synopsis. I know that beyond a shadow of a doubt. Though, I will say it made everything after a veritable cakewalk in comparison. Waiting and edits and going to the dentist…easy peasy.
