Who wrote that?
First off, I totaled up my units for grad school and unless the grad advisor sees something I don't, I graduate next semester and all I have to do is the final project. That's it. Yay!
Second off, it's been a crazy busy week with me not actually feeling so hot. I confess I did not write as much as I should have, which is to say I spent more time notebooking the Unexpected Synopsis than I did writing. I lost a contact lens and have to wear my glasses until I get properly fit for new lenses. Great. (Said with much sarcasm) I can't see anything. I ate too much yesterday. I've got more to complain about but I guess I won't.
I started reading one of the ARCs for
Shards of Crimson. I'm going to read straight through. Liz's story was totally cool. When I read mine, it was one of those Did I really write that? experiences. I did pretty good! This is particularly a good thing right now because I have been freaking out about perhaps being a fraudster sort of writer, but DX suggests maybe I am not. Which gives me much needed confidence just now. I have Jade's and Patti's to go.
I've been working on Scandal, responding to some critiquing of it. I realized that my heroine is, at the moment, fading away in the face of my hero. This is an issue with me. I have to work much harder at my heroines than I do on my heros. So, I've just started re-writing Chapter 2 of Scandal from my heroine's point of view. I notebooked her at the gym this morning to make sure I really have a handle on where she is when this book opens. I think I do. I really, really, really want to get Scandal to the point where I can feel confident about sending it to my wonderful agent.
