First person POV…
Yes, this post is about the dreaded first person point of view… And yes, people write in it well… And again yes, I am one of them… well… err… okay. At least I think I so. I wrote my first MS RINGS OF TIME (Mandorian Prophecies – YA Fantasy) in third person. Since it was my first book and it took me upwards of five years to write, it was awesome and didn’t need much to be perfect. *cue the bozo the clown music* Ahem… Then I wrote RUNAWAY CHOICES. Which literally ran away with my brain and didn’t return until the WIP was over. And strangely...

There’s a song rolling around and around my head today… that brings the writing, editing, query, rejection process into perspective. Adopt it. Live it. Breath it. It’s on! The band is SuperChick and the song is from the album Beauty from Pain… IT’S ON And now for the Lyrics… It all comes down to this You take your best shot, might miss You take it anyway You’re gonna make your move today Got the will, you’ll find the way To change the world someday Grab this moment before it’s gone Today’s today Got the will, you’ll find the...
Read MoreEditing Success…
I finished my first edit of RUNAWAY CHOICES last night and in the process I figured out a small little nugget I added in to the story to make it much better. I hope… Haha. Like all first, second and maybe even fifth drafts, it’s surely not ready for submission, publication or the general public. But it is ready for Beta Readers… a couple of whom were emailed last night with squeals of delight with the attached PDF file. I know there are things that probably don’t make sense to the reader, which is what Beta’s are for. Since I wrote it, everything makes sense in...
Read MoreRunaway Choices, has ran away…
RUNAWAY CHOICES has indeed ran away… I saw it sprint for the finish line then break through the orange tape… it completed at 79,065 words. For those of you keeping track, that is 4,065 more words then I assumed I would finish at… but you have to mind the muse. And the muse pressed on for 4,065 words. Yup, it’s finished…Now what? Frankly, now’s the time to rejoice I don’t have to sit in front of the computer and bang out my thoughts. Now, is time to close it and let it rest in it’s pool of words… not opening it again for at least a couple...
Read MoreOwl City makes me smile…
And yes, I am over the age of 12… so really, it should just annoy me. But I love the whimsical techno kiddy sound… and it doesn’t hurt that the lyrics are rated G for Giggly! Ahem, why yes I am listening to them right now, why do you ask? Totally not what I intended to post though. Actually I have a bit of fabulous news… well fabulous in a “I am one in a thousand” way. The Amazon Breakthrough Novel Contest Round 1 announcement was yesterday and as luck would have it… I made the cut. *silence* Ok, where is the applause? Really now, this is something...
