Trudging Along

Posted in Uncategorized, tagged , , , , on December 9, 2010| 6 Comments »

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!

Just Say No!

Posted in Uncategorized, tagged , , , , on November 17, 2010| 8 Comments »

Saturday is going to be MY time. If someone wants me to do something, this time I’m just going to say no. I’ve had various things I’ve had to do on Saturdays, and I promise, I really didn’t mind. Most of them were fun things, things I could do to help someone else. But this Saturday is mine. I have to:

1. Write a decent amount for my NaNo novel so I won’t get any farther behind. In fact, I hope I’ll catch up by Saturday.

2. Finish Guardian Vampire, a novella that only lacked a chapter or two being finished before NaNo started.

3. Do a lot of editing on Jonathan Eli’s novel since he wants to get it out by Christmas.

4. Then maybe do some editing on Guardian Vampire, which also needs to be done by Christmas.

If I get those four things done, I’ll feel like I’ve accomplished a lot. And maybe I’ll reward myself by playing a computer game or watching Buffy. Or maybe taking a nap if I’ve gotten up early that morning. Saturday is mine!

Today’s Word Count

Posted in Uncategorized, tagged , , , on October 30, 2010| 5 Comments »

I’m trying desparately to finish Guardian Vampire before I start writing for NaNoWriMo. I usually can only write somewhere between 1200 and 1600 words in one sitting. That’s just usually my limit. Today I cranked out 3,343 words in one sitting! I couldn’t believe it when I realized it. That must be why my hands are tired and my butt hurts. LOL

So, anybody else out there doing Nano besides the ones who have already posted about it? It’s a great way to make yourself write on a schedule. And there’s such a frenzy during the whole thing. It’s contagious!
