Behind Again
Oops! I’ve been neglecting my blog yet again. Not good. I’ve been incredibly busy, but that’s no excuse.
I’m almost finished cleaning up The Witch’s Stone. Eight chapters to go, YAY!. This has been a lengthy endeavor, and one I hope to never have to do again. That said, I do believe I’ve managed to beef up the emotion in this story. I’m entering it in a contest next week so I’ll get an idea if my hard work has paid off at all.
Blood and Bone is coming along. I don’t think I’ve ever had a first draft this rough before. It’s interesting because some chapters are great and only need a little tweaking while others need to be scrapped and rewritten from scratch. Very time consuming. I’m hoping to start to submitting this one to agents in the new year. The beginning of Feb if all goes well.
I signed up for NaNoWriMo this year. I’ve had a new story that I’ve been holding back from starting just for this event so I’m really looking forward to it. This is the first year I’ve tried it, so wish me luck.
I’m so supposed to be going to a RWA chapter meeting today, but after throwing my neck out last weekend (long HellHound story), I think I’m going to skip it. My neck was a lot better on Wednesday, but I spent most of the day in front of the computer on an uncomfortable chair and when I woke up Thursday it was as bad as the day I did it. Today my neck is feeling much better (Yay to muscle relaxers!) but it’s still a little stiff, and I’m worried that sitting on an uncomfortable chair three hours will set me back again.
