Tyra Brumfield commented on the blog post '[What's Next?] Put it in Print'
"As many have mentioned, I do a little of both. After I've written and edited on screen, I'll print the entire manuscript and edit on paper. I usually find even more things to change on the hard copy. Funny how that works."

And you are making me so nostalgic for Davis Kidd.

I was in Nashville earlier this fall (used to live there), and stopped into Parnassus, met the manager (have previously met Ann Patchett, one of the owners). And bought several books! Really lovely store. And it is SO nice to know there is a bookstore there. I wrote most of my 1st novel in the cafe at Davis Kidd, and then read there when my second novel released. Was so devastated to hear it had closed.

Tyra,
With apologies for being tardy with my welcome, we're delighted to have you in the novelist group!
You might introduce yourself by telling us what you’re working on in the “Show Me Your Novel and I’ll Show You Mine” discussion if you're not too uncomfortable talking about what you're working on. We save the wall for discussion, so please refrain from linking to blog posts there, but do add them in the “Links to Helpful Blog Posts for Writers” discussion thread.
And we do a live chat every Wednesday at 1EST; instructions on how to participate if you haven't done so already are in the "Our Water Cooler Wednesdays" box near the top of the group page.
