Programming – Jaye Em Edgecliff

Well, today is the first of August. So the first issue of the Indie Book Buffet is out. Also their contest is open for all.

Just downloaded the eZine myself, so we’ll see what it’s like. As one might notice from the cover, I’m in it this month. Also I’ve contributed to the contest for this month.

In other news the ABCs thing will resume later today. Sorry for the lapse, but I was rather ill. Hard to concentrate when you feel like you’ve some terrible plague.

Extra, extra! Read all about it! (findagirlwhoreads.wordpress.com)

Oh my, Love or Lust is past the halfway mark in a second draft as revisions and edits get done. I swear if I find one more daft typo I’ll scream.

Anyway, this is the broad sale edit phase polishing up the story. When editor and I are happy with it then copyediting happens. Couple passes to be sure no little ugly comma splices and other grammatical gremlins are still around, then it’s off to the retailers.

The downside is this is absorbing and distracting the mental CPU cycles that might’ve been going to getting over my touch of writer’s block with Ready or Not. No I hadn’t mentioned that yet. Yeah, well, got a bit sick & work got a bit crappier and I’m a little “so … what’s next?”

It’s the worst kind too. I can see all kinda next coming up, but I got to GET THERE! Hmmm … maybe this many chapters in, it’s time to fast forward to school starting and them getting on with sophomore year.
