Part 2: Time To Get Busy!

Hello, WriMos and friends!

Christmas is over and the week ahead looks clear for writing.  I'm ready to begin the editing process of "A Place for Pamela".  It's been good to take a break from the story.  I haven't looked at my manuscript since the contest ended on November 30th.  In fact, I haven't read any of it since the very beginning of the contest.  I can't even remember what I wrote - the contest was such a blur!

It's been almost a month since I thought about Pamela and her journey, so now it's time to get back into her life and start the polishing process.  I'd like to finish the book before school releases for the summer.

That being said, my tentative goal, from editing to print, is three months.  March 2010.  Hopefully, sooner.  Let's see if I meet that deadline with a new semester upon us.

Wrimos, are you ready to edit?  If so, let's take this second half of the NaNoWriMo journey together!

And In The Meantime...

Hello, Everyone!

This will be my last blog until Christmas break when I begin the editing process on "A Place for Pamela".   I need to focus on the end of the semester as well as the holidays.  Plus I need a perspective from my book so I can look at it again with clear eyes. 

I hope all of you who participated in NaNoWriMo will think about next year's event.  We will meet weekly beginning August to prepare ourselves for November 2010.  And those who didn't - join us!

For those of you who completed NaNoWriMo, congratulations.  Did you get your code from CreateSpace yet?  You can also design your book cover with CreateSpace.  I'll blog about them later.

I'm already looking forward to writing another book.  I miss being creative and it's been less than a week since the contest ended.  I read somewhere there is another novel writing contest during the summer.

Anyway, check back after December 25th when I'll resume this blog.

Merry Christmas, Happy Hannukah and Happy New Year!
