Pictures from a Convention
Three cheers for me — I just pressed ‘send’ and the manuscript for Sins of the Lost has been submitted!!! You can’t begin to imagine the happy-dancing going on around here. And not just my own. I think my husband is about ready for a meal that doesn’t come out of a package…and maybe some […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry...

Sexy Angels and Other News
Good morning, world! I’m back at my desk after a fantastic weekend at my first-ever Ad Astra convention — and back at work on the final polish of Sins of the Lost. My new deadline is Friday, and barring any Fallen Ones getting in the way, I will meet it this time! I’ll also be […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry...

Ad Astra 2013
It seemed like forever ago that I signed up for Ad Astra, and here it is just one day away. Am I ready? HA! Not nearly. (Somebody really has to figure out how to slow down time. Just sayin’. ) Ready or not, however, tomorrow morning I’ll be getting into my vehicle and making the five-hour […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry...

Reprieve!!
My editor is an awesome person. In fact, at 7:30 last night, she was officially my favourite person in the world. Why such gushing on my part? You may recall that my deadline for Sins of the Lost was the end of March (well, it was actually the end of February, but I was given […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry...

The Final Stretch: 4 days out
Here we are at our last morning in the cottage already…I am truly stunned at how fast the week has flown by. As promised (although somewhat later than promised…oops), here are the pics of the place: On the work-front, I haven’t quite completed the manuscript, but I got a lot done. First-draft revisions are complete, […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry...

The Final Stretch: 7 days out
It’s the final week before deadline, and what am I doing? Heading off to a cottage for some uninterrupted writing time. Woot! It doesn’t get any better than this. Four days and three nights of peace, quiet, and total focus. Which exponentially increases the odds of handing in Sins of the Lost on time. Yay! […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry...

The Final Stretch: 9 days out
It’s a scary thing, reaching the single digits in a countdown to deadline. O.O Especially when things around home have become desperate enough that you have no choice but to step away from the desk for a few hours. You know, to accomplish things like paying bills (having the electricity cut off at this point […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry...

The Final Stretch: 10 days out
Ten days from deadline and I’m a little past the halfway point in first-draft revisions. I should clarify that this isn’t truly a first first-draft revision, however. I’m one of those that revises as she goes, so much of the manuscript has already been thoroughly massaged and tweaked. (And wow…that actually sounds wrong, somehow! ) Chapter […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry...

The Final Stretch: 11 days out
Remember that post a couple of days back about The Little Writer Who Could? Yeah, not feeling that so much today. Holy crap, that deadline is coming up fast. And holy crap, I still have a lot of work to do on this book! To make matters more interesting, I’ve hit that stage (again) where […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry...
