I survived NaNoWriMo 2018! I finished with my best year yet at 86,000 words, beating my previous best year of 2016 by nearly 5,000 words! But I finished the rewrite of Ain’t No Angel (my next book in the Hearth and Forge series) and got started on the first rewrite of Trouble Makers, (the book after Ain’t No Angel).
Anyway, that’s kind of all I have for now!
AHHHH! November is upon us and my brain is more fried than usual! Welcome to NaNoWriMo! I’m currently at 36K with some missing words, and I don’t understand. Aside from that, I finished the latest draft of Ain’t No Angel last week, and now it’s time to set it aside and search for beta readers in December while I work on the first rewrite of Trouble Makers.
9/10/18
Holy wow, this past month has been busy — birthday parties, back to school, meet-the-teachers, scouts, a crap-ton of swimming at the Y, swimming lessons for the monsters. And also a lot of writing. Not as much as I’d wanted, but at the same time… more. I also played with the cover for Ain’t No Angel, and I’m liking the new font. It works really well, and I’m excited to show everyone. It’ll have to wait a bit, since I’m not actually ready to share it yet. Kinda makes me glad I didn’t do a cover reveal for the first cover! (Really, it’s not that much of a change, but it still looks loads better than it did before.)
Anyway, I still have a lot of rewriting and such to do, and I realized I need to add in another thing that came up a couple scenes ago. *sigh* AND I need to make some tweaks to another thread in it, but that shouldn’t be too bad to do. I just need to find all the references so I can tweak appropriately. It shouldn’t take too long, and I think I’ll do that now while I contemplate what needs fixin’ in the next scene to revise or rewrite. And also contemplate where in the remainder of the story I need to add in this new thread because it’s kind of big and I can’t just drop it.
So there you have it! The past month in a nutshell!
