Struggled today. Grrrrr! Too many ideas. On a positive note, I’m quite amused by my chapter titles this time around. I might actually publish with ‘em.  Here’s a sample: Chapter 1: The Unicorn Club Chapter 2: The Gods of Rock Chapter 3: The Shit Show Chapter 4: The Deets On another positive note, I listened […]

Just hit my first 10,000 words on Book 4, and I’m about three-quarters of the way through Chapter 3. I wrapped up before a pivotal moment today, a moment where Lily is about to do something impulsive and kind of crazy, but I think I’ve built up enough tension in the scene for it to […]

Finally finished Chapter 2. I was blocked for days. Days, damn it! Usually when I’m struggling, it’s because I’m either starting a new chapter and didn’t give myself an easy hook into it from the chapter that came before, or because I’m overwhelmed by all the things I want to accomplish in the new chapter.

Copy edit back, and PJ has been KT approved!! Two months of nose-to-the-grindstone revisions have resulted in a lot less work post-edit. I’m so stoked right now. I think I can tackle these last few revisions in less than a week!   At this rate, I’m very confident I will make my December release date […]

So, with KT working her editing magic, my book baby is out of my hands for a couple of weeks. I know I should probably be using the downtime to do something productive like come up with a design concept for the cover. But screw it, I’ve earned a break.   I’m about to drop […]
