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?)
Nice to have an update from you

How exciting that you’re applying to Viable Paradise! Good luck! And wow, that book fair sounds amazing
I’ll look forward to the review of How To Write Page-Turning Scenes, I’m taking the How to Think Sideways course and loving that but haven’t yet tried any of Holly’s other paid lessons.
Now very curious about this secret project!
Hi Davina, augh! I’m sorry I kept you waiting. I’ll try to do better in the future. Thanks for visiting!
Hooray! Lots of things to be excited about and look forward to!
Hi Pam, yes, there certainly are! thanks.
