Getting closer...

So, it's been a while, I know, I'm sorry!  Strep, sick kids, & work kind of slow down the creative process ;)  Well, the first edit is completed (YEA!!!).  All of the new parts I wanted to add in were added and overall, I am very happy with the story thus far.  Now I've got a couple of people going through & doing the nitty gritty editing/reviewing.  I've had a couple more people read it & told me they loved it (what better compliment is there, really?!).  So, I'm sort of idle at the moment waiting on the second stage of editing to begin.  But we all know idle hands are never good, so....

I'm starting on basic ideas for my next venture :)  Not really sure what it's going to be just yet, but I've got a great idea for a beginning.  No working title yet, but I figure that will come with time.  This is definitely gonna be a snarkier book than my current one (oh yes, I said snarky), but I think that's just me.  Thanks to all my supporters, you guys mean the world to me :) 

Play List:

Liquor Store Blues: Bruno Mars
Best I Ever Had: Drake
Marry You: Bruno Mars
Just the Way You Are: Bruno Mars
The Lazy Song: Bruno Mars

Busy Busy Busy

It's been a while, but I haven't been sitting doing nothing--that's for sure!  I've got about 2-3 chapters left before I finish, YES FINISH the first edit of my book :)  I've had a couple people reading & giving me input--you know who you are & I appreciate it very much!!!!  So, what comes next?  Well, after this first major edit, I'm going to go back through & add in some ideas that some of my readers had & then go back through everything with a fine tooth comb.  I have some questions on POV that I might get a professional to take a look at.  But I am hoping (Fingers majorly crossed here) to have it done by the end of March--way earlier than my end of the year projection.  I'm very excited, but there is still work to be done :)  And I'm also very excited that I've got another idea in the works, so looks like I may be busy all year after all!
