I was supposed to be taking a break for a couple of days, but instead I jumped right into writing the next book in the series, FALLING FOR HADIE. I wrote 2,000 words for it today! Whoo! I don't think I will work on it again for a while because I want to take a proper day off before my husband goes back to work.
On Tuesday, I begin the first round of revisions for WITH ME. I really want to stay focused and get a lot of work done. Wish me luck!
If anyone has any revision tips, feel free to share them. Have a great week!
Tip one: fork it over!
ReplyDeleteHaha! You don't have to wait long now. :)
DeleteCongrats! I'm impressed you wrote a book so fast.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ghenet. I surprised myself by how much I can actually write in a day.
DeleteCongrats on finishing! That's such a fulfilling feeling. I just stumbled across your blog and love finding a fellow writer :) As far as editing, it helped me to take a break from the manuscript, then make a chapter by chapter outline to see if there were any slow points in the plot. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteHi, Saumya! Thanks for stopping by!
