I've been working like crazy on my edits for BTWW and I took a stab at writing the syllabus (which sucks right now but that's what EDITING is for, right?). Now, though, I just have to wait to hear from my last two betas before I can do one more round of edits and then ship that baby off for the query-go-round. This might be the most nerve-wracking ( Read more... )

Whew! Halfway through. Obviously this isn't getting done in thirty days but it's coming along. I'm heading to the States for vacation so I will, no doubt, disappear into a bookstore for days on end. *happy sigh*

Writing PTWT is like slipping into a pair of well-loved jeans. I'm still a little in shock about how natural it feels after the jarring on again, off again progress on some of my recent attempts at different stories.

I've been having the hardest time getting into writing. I've started two different books (QOS and the phoenix one) which were both good and SHOULD have kept my attention ... but they didn't. I kept stalling out and going days without writing because it consistently felt like a chore (which is not normal for me). So I sat down today and really ( Read more... )
