So my rewrite is going awesome. I’m on Chapter 8 and things are just flowing so well with the switch to first person. However, my MS is getting heavier… like 3,000 words heavier at the moment! Oops! I guess that just means I can cut out that one scene… you know the one… the one [...]

It’s my birthday week… yes, I am turning older… a whole year older. How does that happen? In any event, if I don’t make goals for the week, things aren’t going to go as well as they could. Turning older takes thought and consideration. If I don’t have it written down, I just might think [...]
