Too long since

Well, I hate to say it, but it's been too long since I posted last. So... a little catch-up....

I submitted my short story, and it was accepted!!! It is in the currently-in-print book "Seasons of Life" by Writing at the Ledges. YAY!

Also, my PC died over the winter. I have a new one, and I am back up and running.

My finished novel has been to an editor, and I should have it back before long. I am very excited about that. Then... TONS of work to be done.

As of right now? I am rereading what I have of book two written so i can pick back up and write some more.

That about covers it. See you all soon :)

The short story

So... I finished editing my short story last night. Whew! That was actually very fun. Time consuming, but fun. I'm a little worried about getting my novel back if those 1 pages too that long, but that's ok. It'll be for the betterment of my baby, the book, so it'll be worth it.

Anyways, I finished editing and wrote my bio, sending it back to the president person of the group. We also got to look at the group photos we had done professionally. They're not bad. I have my favorite, and I'm hoping it's the one that gets used, but none of them are actually bad.

I will find out when we're looking at having it out and printed, and I'll let you all know!

Editing!

My short story is back to me to make final editing choices! I'm doing them now. Then, to send it back along with a bio. I can hardly wait!

A break!

So, I got word today that one of my short stories has been accepted into a book!

My writer's group is putting out their second anthology of short stories and poetry. I sent in a short story of mine, and they accepted it! It's being edited now, and i have to write up a bio for myself.

This is so exciting! Watch out for book signing dates. I know they do them regularly! That is, aster the book is published, haha.

Advancement

So I have a real, live, professional editor for "When In Maui"! I am SUPER excited! I am starting back in on book two of the series. Here's to adonther great step in the process :)

Read

So, I printed off the first copy of my first book and gave it to a friend of mine to tell me what she thought. She read through it in less than 24 hours, saying she couldn't put it down. That's VERY cool in my opinion. She had two things she wanted slightly tweaked, and considering they were both things I went back and forth about, trying to decide how the readers would feel about them, I'm not opposed to going the other route.

So, I am going to do those last couple revisions. She's also editing some grammar and punctuation mistakes. So, once I'm done with those few things? I'm hitting the ground, running. And I am SUPER excited about it!

Ok... time to finish reading the book I'm reading. What book? Well? I'd rather not say. I can't honestly say I'm enjoying it. However, I did just read the first three books of The Mortal Instruments series by Cassandra Clare, and I have to say, one of my favorite book series of all. Loved them. I'm excited for her three part prequel series The Infernal Devices and even more anxiously excited for three more books to The Mortal Instruments series. :) YAY!

Ok... off to read.
