Phew, Motherhood Madness is almost over! In fact, I’m over the biggest hump and can now put most of my focus toward writing again. All last week, when I was able to sit at the computer, I was headed off on the wrong tangent on my WIP. I implored Elle Muse for an answer. Finally, and quite suddenly (while I was driving, of course, and didn’t have a notepad handy—bad writer), the answer came to me. I was writing the wrong damn scene. As soon as I admitted such, ideas for the scene I should have been trying to draft came flooding in. I didn’t get a chance to fast-draft the scene until yesterday, however, I’m already onto revisions (I’m a revise-as-I-go writer). Praise be to Elle!
Anyone else? Is your writing going smoothly? Hardly (as in hardly at all)? Or some variation of the two?
Oh, and before I forget, editor Deb Werksman of Sourcebooks is taking questions at the Casablanca authors blog today. Deb is very approachable, so if you’re interested in Sourcebooks, hop over and have a gander at the sub-genres she’s acquiring, ask a question if you’re so inspired.
Now I must get back to those scene revisions. Tally-ho!
By the way, if anyone knows how to use the Visual editor for WordPress 2.5.1 to insert links, please tell me. What was once so simple in 2.3.2 (or whatever I was using before—that’s close enough) is now impossible in WP 2.5.1. I keep having to go to the HTML editor to insert my links (yes, I’m lazy).
Okay, now I’m really leaving.
Yay for you and Elle! Run with it!
Now that school’s out, I spent all last week writing and revising. Then I started a BIAW yesterday with my ideas for the next book. It’s scary how well the writing is going right now, but I’m running with it for as long as Caitlin (muse) will let me.
Wow, Lexi, you’ve been busy. Hurray for Caitlin, too. (I wonder if we sound weird?) (Do we care?)
(Not so much).
