WoW - Post Holiday Efforts
Which have been amounting to nada. Because I had that nasty chemo cocktail reaction the week following Christmas, I didn’t get a lick of writin’ in. I’ve also skipped two of our Wednesday Sprint session (again because I was feelin’ crappy), and we had decided to cancel one just short of Christmas because everyone had so much to do beforehand.
As a result, I am woefully behind in my writing. This really bugs me because I truly want to get this book done. I’m only around twenty pages short of finishing it. I’m still enjoying it even though lots of writers I talked to usually begin losing interest in a WIP when a new idea hits. Nope, not me. I’m even eager to begin the first round of revisions … which I know is going to be extensive. As the story progressed, I made a lot of changes in it and will have to go back to make sure the beginning reflect said changes. Gonna take a lot of work, and I’m just hoping I won’t take as long to get through the revisions as it did for me to write the bloody book. I still have revisions I want to make to a couple of books that I’ve already written with the intent of either sending them to my agent or self-pubbing them. Haven’t decided yet. Two of them are contemporary paranormals that would work well with my agent and one is a futuristic fantasy that I think would be worth self-pubbing.
I have the feeling that 2013 is going to bring a number of changes in my life and hopefully a lot of progress with my writing. Certainly hope that I get into a more productive writing routine. This going weeks without doing anything is very disturbing and discouraging.

Liz, everything crossed that you can finish the book and make changes in your other ones. I love your writing and would love to see it published soon.

Same here, Edie. Almost wish I was still on that steroid that would wake me up at 1:00 a.m. and let me work the rest of the night.
It was certainly a productive time.
Still, I’ll get this book done, dammit. I’m determined.
