I still continue my experiments with my works. And this time, I decided to change the synopses of all four books from the “Stay Strong, Brave & Happy” series. I don’t think I’m good enough at it, but I tried so hard to make them a little better than the previous ones. I’ve only changed them for the extended editions, while the synopses of the shortened editions will remain the same for now. It means you can compare them and decide which one you like more.

Although after finishing the work on “The Lost and Forgotten Memories“, I will start to start work on the final fifth book and write it from the beginning, I still believe that my work needs some changes. For example, I’m still not very happy with my debut book, “The Sins Of the Past“, and really want to rewrite some moments or get rid of them at all. Yes, this is actually a very good work, which I can give four stars (oh, yeah, I’m so shy), but some things need to be changed slightly. But the problem is that I have no idea of how to do it. When working on this book, I did my best to make this book more or less good, but I still have the feeling that something is not right.
Maybe, someone will say that I need to give up on it and stop wasting time on rewriting my old works. But I believe that if you can and want to fix them, it’s never too late to do it. Especially, since “The Sins of the Past” is the first book in the series. The first book is the one that helps you understand if it’s worth reading the other parts in the series. But I can’t say that it’s so successful. I can easily put my latest books in the first places, while the first take the last one. And even if they have too many pages, I feel much more confident now, when I am working on the fourth book. But when I was publishing the first book, I terribly doubted everything about it. The case wasn’t only about the fact that I was just starting my carreer of a so-called writer, but also the fact that my work wasn’t perfect.
Anyway, I’m thinking a lot about how to improve “The Sins…” and make them more or less readable. I promise that even if I come up with something good and rewrite it, it will not change any parts of the storyline, which seems good enough to me. I just need to work on it and inprove my writing somehow, so the reader wants to read the continuation (which I could, however, change a little, as well). It’s hard to please the reader nowadays…
