I’m still working on editing Guardian Vampire. I found one chapter where I used the unnecessary “that” multiple times. It makes it sound clunky or something when “that” is used so much. A couple of years ago, I probably would have never caught that problem. I feel like I’m getting better at the editing process. I found a couple of discrepancies that I need to fix…just minor stuff. It’s so much easier to catch things when I load the book onto my Kindle.
I’m about 1/3 way through editing Jon Eli’s crime novel. I HAVE to get this done before Christmas.
I’m also working on a set of “Twelve Days of Christmas” eggshell ornaments to put on my Etsy website. I doubt I’m going to get these on in time for Christmas. 😦 Maybe if I offer two day priority mail service for the price of regular mail….
And I don’t have my Christmas shopping done!

bless your heart. glad the kindle helps with the editing. sounds like a brutal countdown to christmas for you!
Arlene, it’s been hard. I’m not going to do NaNo anymore. November is a terrible month to try to put out 50,000 words in 30 days. That’s why I signed up for ROW80 instead for next year. Some of this stuff I could have been doing in November.
Just keep going and you’ll get it all done. Holidays are always so busy without having non-holiday stuff to do as well. I still have that cover to do for Jon as well. Got to hurry!
I just hope I can get it all done and be able to enjoy the holidays at the same time. 🙂
Yeah, you better get to working on that cover! If you don’t feel like you can get the whole book read in time, I can give you a synopsis to work with.
You’re not alone. I try to think of it this way: the longer you wait to XMas shop, the less will be available to have to make decisions about 🙂
LOL, LJ. It looks like you always see the glass as half full. :0)
