The Fun in Writing
It's a relief to complete a manuscript, especially one you've worked on for 2 years and 3 months. Since I've been writing I learned you have to write, and rewrite, and re-rewrite your manuscript to check for typos, book flow, and to make your work better.As a writer I share a common feeling of satisfaction when I've completed a manuscript for editing. But that doesn't mean the work stops there. There are manuscript changes to accept or delete, book covers to work on, marketing your novel.It…See More

My manuscript is done and in the hands of an editor! The plan is for a 2012 release. It's a comedy/drama about life in home improvement.

Broke 400 pages of my 3rd re-write for my next novel. Shooting for 460 max, which should bring around 300 in book format. Counting the pages

Got a good critique that's helping me choose the direction I need for my novel. Always glad to make changes. It's how books get better.

Enjoyed a good weekend proof-reading my next novel, but still have 70 pages to go. At least I managed to wash the car and walk my dog, too!

Kay liked David Lucero's blog post 'The readers of G.R.E.A.T.'
Proof-reading my next novel is coming along okay, but still have to make time for other things like laundry, walk the dog (you get the idea)

Had a great day walking in Balboa Park and found some inspirational ideas for a children's book. Amazing what you can think of outdoors.

ContinueWriting Styles for a comedy novel
Posted on April 29, 2010 at 5:44am 2 Comments 0 Likes
As I pass the mid-point of my comedy novel about retail I am working on a style very new to me. One, I have never written comedy before, but the ideas are flowing and my critic(s) tells me it sounds good. However, I am writing in a style that is almost narrative.
Example:
I woke up the next morning with an aching headache and immediately wished I hadn't gone out partying the night before. I couldn't think straight let alone stand up on my own two feet. As I…

I have never met Tracey in person, but had to contact her every 3 years as I renewed my PHCC Certification with the state of California.

I hope all of you are spending this holiday season with family and friends.

But that doesn't mean we can't sport this spirit throughout the rest of the year. I personally have had life-changing events take place that leave me wondering what I did that was so right to be blessed with such good fortune. I… Continue
