Progress Report
There's a great big beautiful tomorrow, shining at the end of every day! There's a great big beautiful tomorrow, and tomorrow is just a dream away!
I wanted to report that book two, Pooka in My Pantry is finished with revisions and off my plate. I wanted to report that. Alas, it would be a lie. And this is not the place for lies, is it?
I'm close though. Structural stuff is done, so it's cleanup that's left. I sent my editor the first fifty pages and the synopsis over a week ago. Unfortunately, there's a misspelled word in the very first sentence. That sucks. That really sucks.
Let my mistakes guide you, folks: Don't be too quick to send things out. You're likely to humiliate yourself and will feel the need to jump off the roof of your house into a pit filled with double-edged razor blades and lemon juice.
Because, you know, writers are overly dramatic like that.
In the meantime, I've done a terrible job of keeping up with this blog. Apparently, I can blog just fine when I'm writing a new book, but during editing periods, my blogging brain shuts down and I whine like a little baby.
So, this is my check-in with you lovely, loyal people so you know I haven't died of the consumption. (*Cough.* "It's nothing.") If I work very hard, I should be able to finish these edits today and send PiMP (is that not the best acronym for a book ever?) out so I can begin work on book three.
Once book three is outlined a bit (how can I be expected to do anything without my beloved index cards and whiteboard?), I'll probably throw a wordcount widget up here so you can keep track of my progress and write me hateful emails when I'm clearly messing around and not making progress.
Onward in the name of progress!
See you real soon.
