Me when I'm editing/rereading
So, all of us authors know we love writing, right? Right! But, every author I've ever met or have known dreads the looming task of EDITING. Dun. Dun. Dun.
Yes. It needed ominous theme music. Editing! (Shudders) I'm doing another read through of Book 5 and I seriously have like 20 pages left, so of course everything in my author head says, "Finish it!!!" while this is my body...
When I've had a good dose of caffeine, the creative mind is snapping awake, I reread something that I've already read oh, probably a half dozen times, and gasp! How did I miss that!
What was I half asleep? Um, answer, YES. Because, us indies have jobs that suck (like my lovely retail job) they drain the life out of us, so that when we edit our books they come out with words like "killing" instead of "kissing."
So, please if you help support us indies (Yay! Thank you!) please forgive our slap you in the face errors, because we are sleeping as we edit. Sorry. It's just the way it goes. Happy reading!!!

I haven't written anything interesting in a long time. Well, this post isn't any different. I've been working away at an old project I published. It was a short story I wrote for my facebook fan page, just for the heck of it! I got it from 12k to 30k. Then...of course I had to get all distracted! Squirrel!
Now I'm reediting The Vullens' Curse. This was not planned! I simply downloaded it off my amazon account to read it again before I publish the final book. Boom. Errors. Ugh. So...yeah reediting again! Plus, I uploaded the wrong version. I had combined books 1-3 into one book, but I'd taken out the other books, but I accidentally put that version on amazon....heh heh. Oops! So this writer has a butt load of work...and instead I'm blogging. Go figure.
