“Breeding Laughter,” a short story in my Addicted to Heaven universe, has gone to beta readers and now been revised and edited. Just sent it off to Laksa Media for input–if I am going to write in the Addicted to Heaven universe, I want the work to coordinate with the publisher’s publicity plan.
Capturing Video for Book Trailer
Had a lovely trip to the mountains this week, and managed to capture quite a bit of beautiful scenery to use as “B Roll” for my Youtube book trailers for Bursts of Fire. Got a variety of landscapes, including mountain vistas and cliffs, rivers, snow, desert, and forest. Looking forward to editing the videos together!
So busy with other stuff! Grr!
Yeah, I’ve been productive, but the days fly by and sometimes it seems like I have long stretches when I’m not writing!! This week was editing, editing, editing–for clients. Which is good (I like income, and the work is creatively satisfying), but I want to get back onto my own stuff!!
Canada Council Grant Application in!
Yay! I got great feedback on my last, unsuccessful Canada Council Grant application, so the 2019 version is revised and submitted. Wish me luck!
Rainforest Retreat
I am so lucky! My Rainforest Writers Village retreat followed directly on the heels of my Dead Man’s Flats retreat, so I get about 11 days of concentrated work on the edits. We did have a hiccup when one of our friends came down with pneumonia! Spent a few hours in Emergency before she was air lifted back to Canada. Wow. Glad everything turned out for the best. But still, I got lots of writing done, AND I got to present to the other writers at the retreat. Met new people and connected with old friends, and learned some cool stuff from the other presenters. Win Win.
