Join me each Friday as I continue to journal about the process of writing a new book. During November and NaNoWriMo I wrote the first draft. Now it’s time to revise and rework. I’ll share my tips and the process I go through on the way (hopefully!) to making a sale.
Goal: Continue Rewrites– a scene a day
Progress: Rocky start but looking up!
Happy Friday! How did your week go? Are you continuing to revise?

Goal: Begin Rewrites
Progress: Slow
Welcome back! Hope you had a wonderful holiday and New Year. It’s been two weeks and though I had great visions of accomplishing lots of work, truth is I didn’t do a whole lot. So–it’s time to dive back in. Before I do, I want to take a quick minute to talk about something hugely important.
Hard to believe another year has passed–and so quickly. I’ve been here (off and on) sharing my life as a writer with all of you. And it seems sometimes that writing and editing and revising is a non-stop job. But in the end, it IS a job and at this time of year I’m especially reminded that other things are more important. Family. Friends. Time to relax and reflect. Time to laugh and love.
So, rather than a post on writing, this week I’d simply like post my best wishes for you and your family. Whatever holiday you celebrate, may it be full of joy. A peaceful and safe New Year to us all, and to the world in general.

Goal: Finish Chapter Summary/Create To Do List
Progress: Yeppers
So how is the revising going? Did the steps from last week help you get organized? If you’ve been following along, then you’ve got your list of what you need to do and you’ve got your outline/chapter summary. So what’s next?
