Novel

Another re-write is consuming my time. No I'm not finished and I'm beginning to wonder if I ever will be. When does a writer call their work finished? Should I just close the book & push it from my mind? I think I might have to, after this absolutely necessary re-write.
I am simultaneously reading the Twilight series, good stuff! On breaking dawn, only about 75-100 pages left. Very inspirational & educational.

Treandle

I have decided I am not finished with my novel. Starting back at chapter one and doing some major additions in the way of characterization and emotional content. Hope it only takes a couple weeks since its just adding stuff in.

Muse

My muse, I call her Earl, came out last night. It was awesome, she was really on hit with descriptive and emotional words and I wrote a small scene for the sequel to Treandle. Though it kept me up until 12:30 in the morning, and I am suffering now, it was worth it. She has been mia for some time now while I edit Treandle and having her back re-motivated me.

Traveling to San Diego!

For my son's second birthday, we decided to go to San Diego. What better place than where my husband and I both grew up. I work for an airline, so we travel for free, my in-laws live there so we have a place to stay, and all my friends and sister still live there.
Preparing is a job that I do mostly, my husband works days and I work nights, but I find more time for these sorts of things. Not only do I need all the clothes and essentials for an extended trip, but we need toys and snacks to hopefully keep the kds happy. Now the airline I work for is awesome so we get free tv in every seat and all the snacks you want.
My Dad went with us and our flight left @ ten-twenty-five so we had to get up around six-thirty and leave around eight, early for my kids!
Luckily the plane was not full and we got a whole row to ourselves so we didn't disturb other passengers. I thought I'd be funny and stick my husband wit our two kids, both boys, one three and the other was turning two, on one side of the plane and I sat with my Dad on the other. Of course the three year old passes out ten minutes into the flight, but the other one want to see mommy. Really he wanted to run around the airplane.

Novel

I just finished ready Twilight, in 2 days, and loved it. As I was reading, I hoped that my novel evokes as much emotion from the reader as it did. I want my readers to be emotional involved, to care about what happens to the characters, to feel their emotions. I don't know if the novel is there yet, but I vow to get it there, otherwise, what is the point?

Treandle

I finally finished all my re-writes and only have 6 chapters to edit, which is not nearly as involved as re-writing. I can't tell you how excited I am.
I can almost start submitting queries & I can actually take a break and have some much needed reading time. Finally going to read Twilight.
YAY!
