My apologies for not offering much in the way of anything new, but I've been completely wrapped up in revisions. I do however have two fun posts planned: one being the latest installation of the Cephalopod Coffeehouse on July 25 in which we talk about a book we've read, and two being an interview with MJ Fifeld from My Pet Blog on July 28.
First Impressions will be back per usual at the beginning of August and Dianne and I have one opening left. If you want your first page critiqued by two published authors, check out the sidebar for the FAQs.
Meanwhile, I will continue to visit as best I can while I address the remaining issues in my latest endeavor* (I'm down from 57 to 7 fixes, woohoo!!!). Then I can get down to the nit-picky stuff like over-used words and passive sentences and missing/wrong punctuation. After that, it might just be ready for readers...
How are you doing? What are you working on?
* PEACE & FORGIVENESS
Best of luck with your revisions!
ReplyDeleteTake care of those last seven fixes.
ReplyDeleteInterview with MJ - awesome!
Glad you're spending time writing. And hope you're having some summer fun too.
ReplyDeleteNot as much summer fun as I'd like but c'est la vie.
DeleteKeep plugging away!
ReplyDeleteI'm plugging onward...
DeleteHaha! I'm down to two issues left to fix in my revision. Meant to have it out last week to readers, but crap keeps surfacing that needs fixing.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your progress.
I'm jealous you're down to two!
DeleteGood luck with revisions. All I'm working on at the moment is trying to find a new place to live. Ugh.
ReplyDeleteUgh is right - I hate trying to find a new place and I hate moving even more!
DeleteI'm busy on my next book and revisiting some old projects to give them new life.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with giving new life to old projects - it's always rewarding when we can resurrect an old wip.
DeleteYep, reading can do serious damage to ignorance, but then again, it depends on the reading material.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your revisions!
too true!
DeleteI'm working on a nap.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
I wouldn't mind working on one of those, lol.
DeleteI'm working on moving country!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds a lot harder than what I'm doing!
DeleteYou're so close! Keep up the progress.
ReplyDeleteI'm in writing and editing mode on most of my stuff. Doing me best to stay positive. I may join your coffee party. Going to check out the MJ and Coffee hop. :)
Oh good! I hope to see you on Friday :)
Deletegood luck with the work!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Dez :)
DeleteWay to go! Down to 7 out of 57? That's amazingsauce. Man, that moment when you get back notes from an editor or CP and wonder if this book is ever going to survive your thrashing... That's a hard moment, but I applaud those of us who can number the issues and go forward.
ReplyDeleteI'm revising at the moment. Fun stuff. Want some cheese?
Yes! Havarti, please with some nice ripe strawberries on the side :)
DeleteYou're almost there. Stay with it!
ReplyDeleteOh I will believe me, cuz I totally believe in this story.
DeleteGood luck with your revisions! I'm participating in the Cephalapod Coffeehouse thing Friday, too. It's going to be fun!
ReplyDeleteExcellent! Can't wait to see what book you talk about :)
DeleteSounds like a lot of hard but darn good work, for you. Very cool.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely cool but a long process.
DeleteSounds like you've been quite productive! Looking forward to your post tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to seeing everyone else's post!
