Revision progress report

There are some particularly stubborn and thorny patches in the story that I keep weeding and weeding and weeding and then, when I think that I've conquered it all, I come back only to find that it has overgrown with weeds again...

Revision progress report

I'm enjoying revising my fantasy book so much, I'm rather doubtful of my ability and wish to stop!

Revision progress report

I really like it. My book. I'm not quite sure if I've never known or if I've forgotten that revision can be so much fun. I'm having a real blast right now, even though my main characters keep having cat-fights all the time. I actually had to cut out one scene, because I decided that they were too "catty" with each other. But it's so much easier and so much fun working with the text, that has already been written, adding bits and pieces and, as my critique partner said, "populating it" with stuff and substance.

revision in full swing...

The Great Revision has officially begun!

Emma Group Read!

It's high time I revisit one of Jane Austen's books (I don't remember when was the last time I read one), and as for "Emma", while I am very much fond of it, I do not think that I have read it above two times. How shocking indeed! Therefore, I am quite excited that there will be Emma Group Read in March! I have been meaning to read a Jane Austen novel for some time now but I couldn't decide which one. I have alreay read the first eight chapters and I can't wait for the discussion!

Woohoo! I have the blurb! And I'm quite happy with it - for now:)) But the month is not up yet, so I can't go back to the book until it is. I've been thinking about it a lot, though, and I have unearthed new bits that I can't wait to put in. I'm also reading "A Writer's Guide to Harry Potter; How to Improve Your Writing by Studying the Bestselling Series" by S.P. Sipal and it is extremely inspirational. It makes my brain work in ways and directions I haven't thought of before, new ideas keep bursting and exploding in my brain and there are techniques that I can't wait to try once I begin revision! I would highly recommend this book to anyone who loves the Harry Potter series and who also happens to be a writer.
