This is my last Check-In post before I become a ~real life~ published author. Tomorrow I go to the bank to open a separate account, and by the end of the day I’ll be uploading THE FINAL, I SWEAR THE FINAL mobi and epub files to Amazon, B&N, Kobo, and Smashwords, in that prioritized order….
Oh, I’m sorry, did I yell that? I didn’t mean to yell that. Well, maybe just yell it in my head. A little. Okay yeah I meant to yell that. I’m in the middle of writerly self-doubt, brought on by “too much editing”. You probably know how it is: you get so in the editing…
Woooo, what a week. I worked pretty much nonstop on writing crap, that I barely had time to get any exercise…or eat…or shower…or you know, do life stuff. That’s how I am, though. Once I’m in the zone lol what is basic care of my body~ So, let’s see what I did this week! Finished…
Man, what a roller coaster of a week. Last week I drew up an outline for the last few scenes in my current WIP, and hoped to get through most of them by today. Well, I got through five out of ten scenes, with the sixth one started. Why not more? Because my final edits…
It’s the first Sunday of August, which means the first Camp numbers are in on my end. I’m making steady progress but am not pulling ahead. Last check I had about 8k. That’s cool, I’m not looking to break records this month, but I like getting ahead and giving myself room for ULTIMATE BODILY FAILURE…
I dig me some lesbian koalas. “Smut”, is, of course, my affectionate term for “sex scenes” in my own writing. Usually, in my main series, I’m not shy about including graphic sex scenes (I’m writing for damn adults, after all) so long as it’s related to the overall plot, whether by something that happens during…
I’ve been writing novel-length stories for well over ten years now, and during that time from reading articles in “Writer’s Digest” magazine to now trolling through blogs, it seems that the discussions on “novel lengths” has changed dramatically. But as authors we tend to see “novel length” in various lights. There’s Wordcount Length Page Length…
I am happy to report that not only am I almost done with the read through of CROSS//Rebirth (one more chapter then the epilogue!) but I’m also past the 20k mark on Camp Nano.Hooray! I’m managing to cram in 2k a day even with all the editing, blogging, and other BS. Thankfully as I end…
I’ll be here if you need me. Here it is, 11:30 PM on the night of May 31st. Camp will be starting in a half hour and I had completely forgotten all about it until now. lol oops. OOPS. Well, it’s not the end of the world. I know what I’m doing. I know where…
LOL “BIRHDAY”. Oh, Memorial Day weekend! How little you mean to the work-at-home, the freelancers, and the generally unemployed. (Read: me.) But, I am taking a bit of a break today, simply because I’m tired and I’m staring down a 25 page (single spaced in Word) chapter and nooooo not today. That said, editing is…
