Blogging My Novel: The Home Stretch

Meez 3D avatar avatars games
So, this is it: the last frenetic burst of revision before the summer holidays. The girls are attending a week of ballet camp which leaves me with lots of time and no excuses. I'm up to Chapter 8 of 15, over half way, but the hard part is yet to come. That said, I'm imposing a blog ban until Friday PM. Incessant prodding via comments is encouraged. Remember, we writers are needy!

  4. Aaah...see I am evil enough to find that quite soothing..aaaaah!

    Do let us know when you're done with it. Even though it's not me...I am quite excited about you completing this thing. How cool! There is something quite magical about a bunch of words coming together to form a book. And yes, I am babbling...So, take care.

  5. Keep up the hard work girl. I bet your on Chapter 12 now. I can't wait to read it. I hope to be sent an advance copy.

  6. Had to go back and rework Chapter 10 and move some chapter breaks around. It's amazing what doesn't seem to work anymore after a good night's sleep. Chapter 11 is done, too. Onward, ho!

  7. I'm up to dreaded chapter 14. It's just as bad as I knew it would be. Time to take the gloves off and finish this story the way it was meant to be told--no fluff, just as close to the fictitious truth as possible.

  8. Carry on carry on...good thing it's raining, less distraction. I'll be with you in spirit(though in Italy in body). Keep up the good work.

  9. Ciao, bella! Eat some gelato for me. It's the last day of ballet camp...What if I don't finish? What if I do and it's still awful? Aah...Let's redirect that imagination from rant to revision, shall we?
    For better or worse, expect a post soon.
