WIP is at the editor and DP2 is in the works!

So...yeah I haven't updated my blog lately. Sorry! I finished my camp nanowrimo WIP and sent it to the editor last week. I'm hoping there are not too many things to fix, but wouldn't be surprised if there were a lot. After all, nanowrimo is the month of sleepless nights (since I have kids and a job when else will I write lol) and I tend not to make much sense when I am too tired. She says so far it is OK, though. *YAY*

On my FB page, I had recently posted about regretting writing that one of my characters shares a common fear with me (no I will not tell you, have to read and find out lol). I was chatting with one of my friends/fellow nanowrimo competitors and was telling her how the scene played out. I guess it was pretty vivid, because we were both afraid we would be unable to sleep that night. LOL What sort of critter frightens you?

Well must get back to the batcave and get to work! Happy Reading Folks!

Misbehaving Machines

I think I've already said how I was doing Camp Nanowrimo. Reworking a previous WIP that needed some help. I was writing along, updating my word count like a good girl, when I decided I needed to get off the laptop and switch to my desktop... Things were going great until I took a short break to update my word count again. I was short like 1,000 words! Apparently different word processor programs have different methods of calculating things like word counts, and it pretty much screwed my stuff up. :( So anyhow, I diligently began writing again, because let's face it that's what I do lol, and tada! Today I have made up the difference in word counts and come up ahead. (That's right...Go Sally...) I decided maybe it would be better to stick to just one or the other, and since I have Word (to go) on a flash drive I guess I'll be using that if I decide to switch back to my laptop. The first thing I need to do payday is buy Office...

Thought for the day: When making the decision to purchase a new computer, don't just assume it comes with Microsoft Office. Learned that one the hard way.

Hope everyone has a great day and Happy Reading Folks!

Gettin antsy!

Looks like my final cover for The Dragon's Portal will be complete soon! The editor is furiously editing on it as well. Things seem to be falling into place at last!

Bobblehead Batman attempted to take over my Facebook page last night when I had grounded myself from the internet to accomplish more writing. I say attempted because his poor little arms are not quite long enough to reach the keyboard...Haha!

Another thing that has been distracting lately is this new game I have become addicted to: 4 Pics 1 Word. Is anyone else hooked on it? Crazy...

Oh, and I had a major revelation that got me out of my funk/writer's block yesterday while I was washing dishes (weird, I know). The part of Book 2 that I have been stuck on for over a week...well the scenes just seemed to play right out in my mind. Tied up some nice little loose ends that were vexing me, I'll tell ya. Anyway I had a great day yesterday (got 2 more chapters completed) and am working on a great day today, too! Happy Reading Folks!
