Long Overdue Update

I feel so bad - it’s been nearly a month since I’ve updated this site!  My apologies, but up until April 19th, I was diligently revising The Novel, which means that I completed my 2nd round of edits 10 days ago. Woohoo!  There is much more to do. This week I’m furiously reading “The First Five Pages: A Writer’s Guide to Staying Out of the Rejection Pile“, to get the first 3 chapters ready starting next week to send to Viable Paradise.  I’m also planning on doing a book review when I’m done.

As a reward, I took some time off to plot my next move, visit a college I’m interested in attending, and went to an AMAZING book fair, where I snagged 10 BOOKS for $8.50. Woohoo!  I also found a great local used book shop (didn’t know they existed anymore), and I’m compiling a crapola pile for trade in purposes.  (I always keep my worthy books.)

Speaking of book reviews, very soon I’ll be reviewing How To Write Page-Turning Scenes, which I read before I started editing.  Very helpful!

Finally, I have a top secret project possibly in the works now that some time has opened up in my life.  Coming soon: yet another post of links, a new blog look and style, and writing tips!  (I’m actually getting good at writing fiction, who knew?)
