Whew, I’m coming back up for air. I’ve had my head down, working on the first book in the Dream Wreaker series. It’s undergone a total rewrite, which resulted in an additional 8,000 words. I’ve shipped it off to the editor so it’s progressing nicely. It’s so nice to finally be getting around to that project, which I’ve wanted to tackle for a long time.
I’m back in the real world now. When I’m deep in a project like that, almost everything else goes by the wayside. Hello again, family and friends. Hello cleaning and taxes and grocery store and my winter newsletter. I plan to be getting to that this week. I know I’m late, but I figure my readers would prefer a book, if given the option. So be on the lookout for a newsletter soon. If you haven’t signed up for my newsletter yet, just sign up here.
Congrats on finishing the re-write. I’m looking forward to reading this series when it comes out.
I’m often amazed that you writers have enough time to write the books and stories while also blogging etc – of course you probably write a lot faster than I do!
Looking forward to the series!
I can’t wait to see your twist on this legend, I love seeing a new perspective on the Oneiroi.
Wow! Never thought about a total rewrite! Hmmmmmm…bummer! Glad to have you amongst the living! Happy New Year!!
Enjoy receiving your newsletter Kim. This is a great giveaway….
I’m soooo tempted to try it out, just for a test run!
The story line is still the same (unless my editor sees ways to improve it), but there’s more characterization now, more life in the story, more everything. I’m glad to be catching a breather!
Good luck with the book.
congrats on finishing! Thanks for the fun newsletter 🙂
Glad you enjoyed it, Erin.
Thanks, Deb
I wish I wrote faster, Diane. So much to do, so little time.
The series does sound fabulous.
Can’t wait to read the new series!! I definitely prefer a new book. But the newsletter is nice also. 🙂
I know how you feel. When each of my kids graduated from high school I made them a scrapbook of all their school years and activities. Of course I would wait to start about three weeks before the grad party and then have to spend every waking moment on it! I’d ignore the family, the house, etc just so I could get it done!
Congrats on finishing it! It’s been hectic at my house too!
Please keep writing and I will keep reading
You’re right. I think most of us would prefer a new book to a newsletter but I would love to hear more about your writing process. Adding 8000 words sounds daunting.
I can’t wait to read the book.
I’m really looking forward to the series!!
Sometimes you just have to put on the blinders and let the rest of the world wait!
Thank you for the giveaway. I just started following your site and I just started reading Courting Jealousy.
I am looking forward to reading the book.
Newsletters are nice, a book is better.
Awesome giveaway! Well put together website!
Looking forward to reading this story.
Enjoy receiving your newsletter and the giveaways are awesome.
Can’t wait to read the Dream Wreaker series. Congrats and welcome back to the real world. 🙂
Can’t wait to read this series! 😀 Hooray for you for being able to do some other things too 😉
Welcome back to the land of the living. 🙂
Hmmm, wish you could write yourself up a household staff. More books for us readers that way!
Looking forward to the Dream Wreaker series! Do you have a release date?
I’m glad you have the time to write books! :-)))
Total re-write…. that’s amazing! Congratulation on finishing it! I know the feeling when the work takes most of your time and you get cut off from the real world. so, welcome back to the real word – I am sure your family and friends missed you =)
I look forward to this new book.
Marilyn
I hope you like it, Marilyn.
Rewrites are interesting, because you’re going back over something you’d finished once before. It’s very different from putting new words on paper. I’m definitely glad to be taking a breather.
I don’t have a date yet, but I’m hoping sometime next month. I’ll keep my website updated with all the latest, and newsletter recipients will receive early previews!
Oh, wouldn’t that be wonderful? A staff to cook, clean, and do yard work. I wonder if somebody could work out for me, too.
I have some really cool items for future giveaways, too, so be on the lookout.
Thanks, Sharmila. I reorganized last year and really like this format better.
Haha. Agree, Mary. I know what to put in a book. Newsletters are much more difficult for me.
Welcome, Katherine!
Agreed, Karen. Get ‘er done!
Thanks for the idea, Mary. I think I’ll blog about my writing process. I didn’t know if readers would find that interesting or not.
Will do, Ava!
Is it the position of the planets or what? Hope you find some time soon to breathe, Tamara.
Can’t imagine being able to write a whole book that others would want to read.
Oh, I’ve done the scrapbooking binge, too, Sue. Writing is exactly like that. You need to figure out what to use and what to leave out. You need to figure out where everything goes and how to make it pretty. Very much alike.
