Here I am at the end of the
school holidays. I mean this literally too, as today is the first day the kids
are at school. yay, term 3 is starting off.
Anyway, in the two weeks I
was meant to complete 3 stories.
I finished 1.
In all honestly I did seem
to come down with a massive brain fart. I forgot that unlike last school
holidays this one was in the middle of winter, and so I could only really stay
at the park for an hour before my fingers started turning blue. And I’m not
sure about you, but I generally don’t write much an hour, maybe 1K if I’m
lucky.
Second factor was that my
sweet (and when I say sweet, I mean dirty and bloody and fucking sexy) ended up
being bigger than I thought. the story line never changed, there was just a lot
more words needed to really tell it then I thought.
So this made 6K turn into just
over 10K after first draft.
I’m hoping it’s still going
to be accepted into the anthology, or at least that it will be read, rather than
just turned away before of the count. I’ve emailed, hopefully I’ll know soon.
Good news is that Carly Rose
will edit it for me, as it’s going into a charity anthology which means I’ll
actually be able to get it edited in the next month, you know if they say, “yeah,
we’ll still accept that.” I’m hoping for the best.
As I see it, worse case I’ll
just pay her for her time if it doesn’t get in. and if they say no, then I’ll
try and write book 2 and keep it under before the end date, and just wait until
I have money to edit book 1.
Though if that happens, then
book 1 will turn to 2 … I’m not sure, we’ll see how it goes. In all honest they
are stand alones linked by a world, not by events.
Anyway, this week, because I’m
going to try and do a read through of this book, clearly, and Being That For
You, which comes out in Nov and needs to go through editing as soon as the
money pops up.
I might even try and start
on Moonlit 8 as James is screaming at me, but even if I do, it probably will
take me up to 6 months to finish. That’s how long the last one was
Anyway, I thought I might do
this little endy thing so you can always see the list made for my
writing for the rest of the yea
