Only One

Tonight at group there were astronomers kindly sharing their expertise and their equipment. Kids everywhere, and Hope was the only one who managed to trip over the cord of the laptop computer linked to the really expensive telescope and nearly destroy both.  Because Hope was the only one who skipped around and around the table […]

And More Editing

So with my heart afire and my resolve cemented, I have once again leaped on the editing bandwagon. And I cut over a thousand words.  Yay me! I also e-queried another agent.  That’s it for my list that accept e-queries, now I need to get on the ball with the snail mail.  It’s TIME.  This

Editing Again

Hope wanted some company doing her homework tonight, and I was feeling uninspired (I love the last scene I wrote so very much that I’m not ready to move on) so I took my Eve ms to the kitchen table and we did homework together.  I cut two hundred words.  Yay me. Why does it

Still not getting anywhere with Keen’s book.  I think my “but I like him and don’t want to kill him” muses are working with the “quick!  Vacation’s almost over, go into denial!” instincts.  I did cut over 200 words from Eve’s book. I

Squawk!

Holy shit, it’s July!  My year is half over, and I’m not published nor even submitted anywhere. I was thinking of this last night, and decided I would start dividing my time.  Work on Keen, then edit Eve a bit.  One more rolling run-through, and then I’d send it off. So what am I doing?
