Strange Familiar

As you can see from the progress meter on Strange Familiar, I'm getting a lot closer to the end. I have so much to clean up, to edit out, and add in, but once I reach the ending, the rest is relatively quick and easy. After I send it in and it gets accepted, more work.

Strange Familiar has been a bit difficult for me because with everything that happened, my mind was not on writing. I was away from Strange Familiar for a long time, and that distance means that I was no longer in the book's 'head'. I had to get that back, and get the enthusiasm back for this book.

I have to get the fun back in this story. If you're not feeling a book, the readers will know it. What a writer feels comes through in her words. Trying to force the story before I was ready to come back to it was not working.

Strange Familiar is taking its time getting to the finish line, but it is getting there, thank goodness. I'm ready to move on to the next one.

  3. Glad to see you're back to writing again. :-) I just sent my short novel off to one e-publisher (still waiting for the confirmation email), and am getting ready to send it to a couple more. My first book submission, so I'm nervous. LOL

    Looking foward to both books.
