You are doing amazing Stacy! It sounds like you made fantastic, strong progress on The Prophet…woot woot! Good luck with wrapping.
Christmas has absolutely taken over my life so WIP and all writing (other than blogging) has gone on the backburner. I’ll get back to it after the holidays. 🙂

Ooh, your book sounds interesting. And I’m sure it’s taking up a lot of time. Lots of things to do before it’s ready to post. I don’t envy you. I had to adjust my Row80 goals as well, because the query letter, synopsis, etc. took up a lot more time than I anticipated.

Thanks, and you, too!

Oh, turtles-r-us! I had to change my goals, since I really want to get my Arthurian historical fantasy up as an ebook before Christmas, and that’s taking all my time now. But as you say, slow and steady works too — as long as we keep working!

Good luck on your goals and have a great rest of the week. 🙂

That’s part of what I’m doing now, actually. I’m having trouble with the scene leading up to the first turning point, and I think that’s in part because some of the lead up isn’t filled out. I’m hoping this will solve the problem.

Thanks!

Congrats on keeping on, keepin’ on. Edits are rough, as I should know, seein’ I have gotten stuck in the process. (Finally decided to circle ’round the chapter giving me so much problem and come back to it later.) Well, and there was life and other commitments, too.

In reply to Laura Pauling. They are definitely unique. She's spent A LOT of time going through the various books and really analyzing. It takes a long time to go through the lectures but they're well worth it.

I would love for you to help me:) It gets tedious for me. I’m okay, but not the greatest. I’m jealous of your skills.

Hmm…eggnog. And rum. Don’t forget the rum;)

I love Margie Lawson’s classes. They are so unique and teach something so differently than most writing craft books. In fact, I should review mine.

If you need a hand wrapping I’ll help. I LOOOOVEE to wrap presents and I don’t mean to toot my own horn, but I’m a good wrapper. They always look pretty. 🙂 But if I help you wrap that mean’s I won’t be writing. hmmmm…. hard decision. If there’s eggnog I’m in!
