I finally finished editing my weird western novel, now with a brand spanking new title of: One Way Down. It's still the same western adventures, still the same empathetic werewolf, and the same saucy vampire; but just a new title. Like a new wrapper color for your favorite deodorant, you won't really notice much has changed. This is truly my final ( Read more... )

I don't usually reflect on my writing process much. I'm a big believer that if you put too much thought into something, especially creative work, then you can over-think it. Lately though I've thought more about my writing style and how it's changed over the years. I guess if you plan to improve any skill, it's important to keep track of your ( Read more... )

So some good news - I finally finished editing Pikes Peak yesterday! Woo-hoo! It got steadily more difficult toward the end there, and I wasn’t sure if I was going to be able to finish it this weekend or not. I’m still not 100% happy with some of the dialogue, and I may have a few tiny plot-holes that need filling, but I think it’s ready for my ( Read more... )

Woot! I finished my edits for both of my Big Bang fanfiction pieces! *Happy Dance ( Read more... )

I’m back! The vacation was a blast - beach fun, Universal Studios, and plenty of time to read and relax. I finished up The Secret Garden on the trip down, read through Maria Schneider’s short story “Year of the Mountain Lion”, and even started on Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell. I’m absolutely LOVING this novel though, and find I keep picking it ( Read more... )

Well its back to work after a week of self-imposed Spring Break. Went hiking, visited the zoo, and even got the edits done on my novel. Yay!

I'm excited and ( Read more... )

Forgot to post my updates yesterday, but edits are moving along smoothly. I love the Moral Indecision Aftermath that I created, and I'd almost forgotten about it. Thank goodness I'm reading over this & editing it before I let others read it. I'd hate it if they brought up a scene that I totally forgot about. lol

A nice, quiet Sunday for editing, to be exact. Yesterday was fun, but pretty busy as we spent lunchtime with our Aunt. She took us out to Olive Garden for soup, salads, and bread sticks. Mmmm. Then we hung out and enjoyed the unseasonably warm 70-degree weather with the kitties. Then last night we went and played some Pathfinder until late and then ( Read more... )

Got another chapter of editing in! That means there's only 4 more to go. =) Then I can go back in and insert those edits, which shouldn't take too long.

And after that? *gulp* I let it see the light of day. (At least for some people...)
