Done

Well I sent Storm of Magick to my terrific critique part. As usual, she has done a mind-blowing critique of my novel. I thank the gods for her wondrous talents. If you haven’t guessed by now my writing partner is Naomi.

Right now, I’m taking a couple of weeks off. Doing some series research and character background. I’ve learned a lot about them and look forward to more.

I’m doing some family/house catching up. Which means mowing the lawn, spring-cleaning and anything else I can get done before getting back to writing next week. What has everyone else been up too?

Keeping Track

Other then waiting on my husband to finish looking for typos, I’m done with Storm of Magick. All I have to do is fix anything my husband finds wrong. After that, I’m taking a couple of weeks off to get things in order and prepare for my next book.

On Naomi’s blog, she talks about getting information about your series written down so you can look back for info. I started doing this in the very being of the Logan Wolf series. Although something’s have changed which I do have to fix but also the series notes have grown a lot. So, I want to get the new information down and correct some of the other things.

I also want to add that’s it’s a good idea to start a character log at the being of each book. This will help you keep track of who is wearing what, what they are doing when you go to another character. So if you have to refer to who is wearing what or whatever you don’t have to go hunting down the information.

Revision Facts

I do have a good excuse why I haven’t posted… really! I’ve been really working hard on finishing revisions. My daughter was on spring break then had the nerve to get sick. Well ‘Burton’s Law’ states that I will also get sick and I did.

My agent has been a great cheerleader during this process of revisions. I wanted to share a few eye-opening facts about revisions.

1. If anyone is going to get sick around ‘you will be sick.’
2. Everyone around you will constantly need you during said revisions.
3. Someone’s vacation will always fall on said revisions.
4. Family problems happen during revisions.
5. Quitting smoking during revision time is a good thing, yeah right.
6. Revisions could be eaten by your computer.


What I’m trying to say is remember to factor in these problems for your revision timeline. Good luck.
