Rewriting
Printed the MS yesterday and am going through it with a red pen, making copious notes for the rewrite. It’s about as disheartening a construction site as I’d figured. What’s weird is that the parts I remembered as needing little … Continue reading
Calling ‘done’ on the first draft
Now I’m not going to touch it, look at it, or even open the file for a week. Then the big rewrite starts. I still need to write a final wrap-up scene which is mostly mapped out, but filing out … Continue reading
I’ve been quiet here recently
Truth is, this book is kicking my ass. Or the muse is. Whichever way one wants to look at it. First I got kicked out of my comfortable linear writing groove by having scenes pop up left and right and … Continue reading
Things are progressing
The LHNB Event story has been submitted. I’m working on a blurb and will let you guys know as soon as I do, when it will be up on Goodreads. Meanwhile I’ve returned to Bengt and Alex who are being … Continue reading

… makes for a good word count. I’m hopeful of finishing chapter two before the line edits come in, though the muse keeps handing me bits and pieces of later chapters which I dutifully note down. So it goes.
I hope to be done with this pass
… by tomorrow. And then on to the line edit. Hopefully that’ll be it. I’m starting to know every line by heart and really just want to kick this baby out the door to play. I have some writing to … Continue reading
Crisis management
I’ve had this nebulous epic story in my head for a long time, and when I saw the Riptide submission call for Frontiers, said nebula birthed a plot bunny. Now, I knew the whole story was too big for me … Continue reading
