The writing plan is still pretty much unchanged from last week. I’ve still got some revisions to do on A Cat For Troy, then back to When Darkness Falls, trying to get these major revisions finished and out to the … Continue reading →
I’m sorry, how did it get to September already??? Early in the week I’d decided to go through and write detailed synopses for each chapter in the Synopsis cards in Scrivener. In doing so, I realized I needed a few … Continue reading →
There’s not much change from last week. Mostly I’ll be working on When Darkness Falls, trying to get these major revisions finished and out to the second round of beta readers before November, so I can concentrate on something entirely … Continue reading →
There’s not much change from last week. I didn’t get ANY rejection letters this week (???). Mostly I’ll be working on When Darkness Falls, trying to get these major revisions finished and out to the second round of beta readers … Continue reading →
To be honest, not a lot of actual writing is involved in this week’s Plan. I was at RWA’s National Conference in Denver the 17th to 22nd, and I’ve spent most of the week getting unpacked and back into the swing … Continue reading →
I did quite a bit of work this last week on characterization for When Darkness Falls. I’m expanding some of the major secondary characters, and shoring up descriptions and attitudes on the lower echelon vampires in the resident clan at … Continue reading →
Oy, I fell down on my weekly Writing Plan last month! There’s actually a reason for this. I fell into a depression over the constant rejection letters. I wrote about it in this post, When Disaster Strikes. However, I’m back … Continue reading →
I did it! I got A Cat For Troy finished! Well, it still has to go through beta reading and revisions, but it’s written! Yay ‘n stuff! We’re on countdown for a response from the agent who asked for the … Continue reading →
Excitement!!! I had a literary agent ask for a partial (first 50 pages) of Wishes in a Bottle, the first book of my Wishes & Dreams paranormal romance series. In the end she declined to see more… but she seemed … Continue reading →
Excitement!!! This week’s excitement was the request for a FULL MANUSCRIPT of SwanSong, the first book in my Sons of the Desert series, from the literary agent who made my day a couple of weeks ago by asking for a … Continue reading →
UPDATE: April 7th. Not much change from last Saturday, except….!!! I finally got the troublesome scene written in A Cat For Troy that’s been holding me up these last several weeks. So I have a very good chance of wrapping … Continue reading →
Not much change except I’ve gotten over the block on that one major transition scene in A Cat For Troy that was holding me back. I’m going full tilt at finishing that scene and its aftermath, and finishing the manuscript … Continue reading →
I got stuck the last couple of weeks on just one (crucial, pivotal) scene, that just wasn’t working out. Thanks to a suggestion by a fabulous writer friend, I got it back on track, so I’m back to looking at … Continue reading →
There’s not so much change from last week. My focus is on the revisions of A CAT FOR TROY. I’m going to be going to Romance Writers of America annual national conference in Denver this summer, and my plan is … Continue reading →
So far so good. I’ve gotten professional editing done on SWANSONG and WISHES IN A BOTTLE. The primary focus now is to finish A CAT FOR TROY, the third and final book of the Wishes & Dreams series. I’d like … Continue reading →
I did it! I finished the revisions on A Gift of Jacinth, and it’s open for beta reading! That’s huuuge, and I’m so glad that it’s done!! As a reminder, if you’re interested in being a beta reader, I’ve got my … Continue reading →
Again not much change from last week’s plan. I’m almost done with A Gift of Jacinth, I have done all the POV re-writes, and have one highly emotional/traumatic scene to write (I’ve been procrastinating on that, yes, but plan/hope to … Continue reading →
Again not much change from last week’s plan. My highest priority right now is still to get revisions done on A Gift of Jacinth, with a target goal of being finished by the end of this month, latest. I’m almost … Continue reading →
Not much change from last week’s plan. I got a good start on the February newsletter. My highest priority right now is getting revisions done on A Gift of Jacinth, with a target goal of being finished by the end … Continue reading →
Starting out the New Year with revisions!!! I won’t be working on unfinished books, until I’ve finished revising the ones what have been written, beginning to end, and gotten them revised, edited, polished and ready for submission. Manuscript Status: Three … Continue reading →
I have a New Year’s tradition of my very own. Starting NY Eve and going through NY Day, I back up EVERYTHING on my computer to an internal drive and to my external Passport drive. Not the programs, just data… … Continue reading →
As a perpetual Christmas orphan (i.e., having no family nearby so I spend the holidays alone), I usually dive into my manuscript(s) and power through to stave off the alone-on-Christmas blues. This isn’t one of those years. Last week I … Continue reading →
Nothing new to report… I’m revising A Gift of Jacinth to bring in more of the hero and heroine from the first book, Wishes in a Bottle. Something interesting I hadn’t noticed overall when I wrote it, most of the … Continue reading →
Okay my BIG news this week is that WISHES IN A BOTTLE took second place in paranormal romance in the Melody of Love Contest, sponsored by Music City Romance Writers Chapter of RWA 🙂 Now NaNoWriMo is over, and so … Continue reading →
