To Do: Revisions


The editor has spoken. And the husband. And my writing buddy. It is now time to dive back in to the trials and tribulations of my tattooed duke and my writing girl in disguise so that the story goes from good to great. A friend once said to me, "writing is rewriting." This is, alas, true.


Here is what is on the agenda for the next few days:



More sex scenes. Hotter sex scenes. Fictional sex scenes. Prepare yourselves. Frankly, I'm blushing already.
More housemaidly duties. Terribly sorry, housework shall intrude! But our poor heroine will have to do it, not us.
Little details…always need tending to. Clarity, consistency, etc, etc.Especially as, oh, I decide to cut out characters at this stage in the game. One of the hardest parts of writing novels is keeping track of who knows what and when.
Line edits. And new scenes. And then line edits again.

Here's something funny about this world we live in: this book, The Tattooed Duke, isn't even done yet but you can still pre-order your copy! But first things first…so I shall return to my revisions. And when they're done, I shall give myself a treat!


Do you reward yourself for finishing tasks and projects? If so, what's your treat of choice?
