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!<\/p>\n
Anyone else? Is your writing going smoothly? Hardly (as in hardly at all)? Or some variation of the two?<\/p>\n
Oh, and before I forget, editor Deb Werksman of Sourcebooks is taking questions at the Casablanca authors blog<\/a>\u00a0today. 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.<\/p>\n Now I must get back to those scene revisions. Tally-ho!<\/p>\n 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).<\/p>\n Okay, now I’m really leaving.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Phew, Motherhood Madness is almost over!
