Short Schedule Delay and Audience Help

Oh boy, schedule delay again.  I dragged my feet and now my proofreading won’t start until the first week in January. I wanted it to be in December, but I waited too long to schedule. My fault. I have the copy edits back for Books 1 and 2 but I’m…

Will “writing a book” be one of your New Year’s resolutions?

I recently received an email inviting me to attend an on-line writing seminar with the above New Year’s heading. It’s a good question though I suspect it’s eclipsed by “I’m going to lose weight”, “I’m going to finish my degree”, “I’ll get a better job” and so forth. On the…

Writing Milestone Plus Lessons

Ok. I reached a new milestone today! Books 1 and 2 have just been sent to the copy editor. . . finally! I’m sure they could be better, but sometimes in writing you get to the point of diminishing returns, when your head just won’t work anymore. Each time I do…

Always more editing to be done

Editing continues. After writing my note on my US Naval Academy Classmates, I realized I haven’t talked much about what I’m doing now as far as writing is concerned. I have gone fishing a few times, but I’ll save that for later. About two weeks ago I finished making the…

Write On The River

Just came back from my third Write On the River experience at the home of Best Selling Author Bob Mayer and Deb Cavanaugh on the Tennessee River in Knoxville. It‘s a beautiful place as you can guess by the poster picture. And the two labs, Becca and Gus make you…

Re-Write Lessons

I’m just about finished with my second re-write of Future Discovered and am still amazed at how much I am learning and how much more I have to learn. Fortunately, my editor Tammy Slayer is really good and a great teacher as well. I mentioned that I had 125 comments…

More Edits

Another step in the process was completed on July 29th and August 1st when I sent the second drafts of Future Discovered and Immortal Guardian back to the editor. I got the editors comments on Future Discovered a week after submission, and it was better than the first edit! Even…

Editing Progress and Writing Advice

Ok, much to my amazement I just finished dealing with the remaining 38 editorial comments in Immortal Guardian. It went quicker than I thought.  I just sent an email to my editor, Tammy, that I am now 100% certain I will have the two books back to her on August…

Editorial Progress

I finished the editorial changes to book 1 Future Discovered a little over three weeks ago and sent the re-written document out to some Beta readers.  I took a little time away from the writing and then took on the edits and re-write of Immortal Guardian.  Keep in mind I…

Dealing With Writer’s Block

I was recently asked what I do about writer’s block. To me, the term writer’s block refers to a point in the story development where you have no idea what comes next or what to do. Initially, I would take a break and go for a walk or do something…
