Starting the Saturday off pretty well.

I woke up around 9 am today. Last night was pretty great. I still can’t get over the party. It wasn’t anything ridiculous. Just good clean fun. Do you ever just have “fun” without having to do anything insane? Feels great.

The revision is going great. As I read through it I get more and more surprised with my editor’s work. She’s fairly young and not an “official” editor. She works for her school paper and edits/writes columns and loves to read. So hiring her was ideal  because I needed both an editor and a reviewer.

I took a risk with her but it seems to be worth it. This won’t be our first edit so she will have more time to gain experience and I’ll teach her a few things. I think it’s cool that I handpicked her like this. Once we publish our first title things won’t look good for just me but her too. She’ll be able to say, “Oh I edited a book that’s out on shelves”. How many people have that on their resume?

Anyway I have 98 pages to look over before I begin coverart designs. So far, the only things I’ve had to change are sentence structures and dialogue within the book in order to give the characters the demeanor I want them to have. You know, certain words, actions and phrases that one person just wouldn’t say or do but the other would. I’m glad I have her. I doubt things would be progressing at this pace if I didn’t have her help.

This isn’t the update. I do those at night. I set a goal to edit 88 pages a day in order to reach my deadline, 44 in the morning and 44 at night, not to mention the other book I’m working on. But I will probably end up finishing the revision tonight. One day ahead of schedule I’m liking it.

If you LOVE romance or love to read in general FOLLOW THIS BLOG. Seriously, I follow back always and who doesn’t like mutual support? I’ve seen reviewers too. FOLLOW. Because I will need people to critique my books, good or bad, doesn’t matter. Some help is better than none at all. I’ll keep you guys updated. Thanks to all that follow me. Enjoy your Saturday!

Update December 20, 13

Excuse my tardiness people. Just arrived home from an amazing party.

So I am guilty of having a lazy day. That’s right people, I didn’t do anything book related today. Well all that means is two hours of revising before I go to bed. Good thing I don’t have work or class tomorrow.

I’m liking the blog and bloggers so far. There are SO MANY poets, writers and novelists on this site. I got exactly what I came for. So far I’m getting followers each day. For the most part I would prefer that only novelists and book fans/reviewers follow my page. And that’s because I am a novelists so those would be the types of people who would be interested in following and spreading my work as I do the same for them. But should I be more open minded? Hmmm

So “Hero’s Tale” is progressing well. The revision should be over by late Sunday. Then I can start designs for book covers. I have a few blurbs for the back cover that I am thinking about sharing, I’ll keep you all posted.

If you LOVE romance or love to read in general FOLLOW THIS BLOG. Seriously, I follow back always and who doesn’t like mutual support? I’ve seen reviewers too. FOLLOW. Because I will need people to critique my books, good or bad, doesn’t matter. Some help is better than none at all. I’ve read a few books this month. Maybe I’ll write a review.

Alright, well it’s time to fall from the face of the Earth again and enter my domain of writing/revising. Thank you to all who follow this blog. I look forward to sharing my journey with you. It’s going to be a real showstopper.
