So about a week ago I did a guest blog on Inkpunks.com on mechanical vs. inspirational writing. Yesterday I was asked to do a guest blog on “Breaking into pro short fiction markets.” I’m not sure when I will be doing it — June, I believe, but I’ll keep you updated!
Okay, Make that two weeks…
But the work is going well!
Taking a week off
To edit a novel for Edge. This is very cool work. I have a great author to work with, who listens openmindedly (is that an adverb?! My spell-checker doesn’t like it) to my suggestions, though he has areas he wants to maintain. So far, I can see how he as done both — used my suggestions and kept the scenes he most wants — to great effect. I am really enjoying both his book, and the process!
Another short story in the mail!
That brings me up to six, currently. Love how the novel is coming. And–I think I mentioned that I am now fiction editor for Edge Press–I have my author, Ryan Oakley’s, rewrites as of today, and so will be putting most things aside for a bit to get him some feedback.
Okay, tomorrow I babysit my grandson, so I won’t put that aside. Boy, days sure are full!
Happy, happy!
So, returning to my novel, I am very happy! The opening is GOOD! I am inspired and energized to push on!
