TGIO and December Edits!

12/1/2014

Thank Goodness It's Over. I promised myself I wasn't going to leave a big chunk of writing until the end this year but...yeah. We finally got our work-in-progress house into a solid enough draft to move in and we spent most of the holiday weekend hauling boxes - starting at 7 a.m. on Thanksgiving day. Sunday I woke up and realized that somehow it had gotten to be Sunday? As in the last day of November? And I still had almost 5K to go. And I also wasn't entirely sure where I had packed my laptop?!

After yesterday's marathon typing session, I need to rest my fingers and I find there are few better ways to see if I wrote something cringe-worthy than packing a manuscript away for awhile. So I'll be taking a short break from noveling and blogging and working on some other projects - like unpacking my house. Hopefully when I get back to it, my house won't look like this anymore and I won't discover that my rough draft is even more of a mess. If it is? Well, it's time for December edits and fortunately I like few things better then revision - whether in house or novel form. :-)

    Reflections on Writing

    Picture
    I love few things better than a bottomless to-read list of books and firmly believe the world has room for all the stories we want to share. This blog is intended to provide resources and spark discussion about improving writing. Opinions are my own and not intended to discredit anyone else's work, only to open conversation. Thanks for reading!
