Posting December’s Writer’s Life early.

It’s been a hectic time and I’m working on a novel and edits for Conquering Jazz. My plan is to have both done early 2007. The Muse is working well. Back to work. No ROM Insights newsletter in December. Next newsletter will be in Janaury 2007. I will have a 2006 recap of what happened with me in January 2007

September I was happily enjoying my break when bam I was taken from it. This darn muse would not leave me alone. LOL. Now you know I couldn’t keep away from writing. It is too much in my blood. I had to go and do some little bit of writing here then there and before I knew it I was back to writing everyday. Shoot I don’t have the concept of taking a break down.

So since my mind was still working out the kinks of how to execute the edits for Conquering Jazz I decided to work on something fresh. I did and the results were phenomenal and it also helped me figure out what I want to do with Conquering Jazz. Yippeee!!!

The ROM Insights~ August/ September 2006 issue is available on the site and yahoo group. There are many announcements in it. I will be posting the info in the next blog entry about it. Check it out here.

August is my birthday. Whaoo Hooo!!!! I love my b-day. I’m planning to have fun and relax. I’m taking off from my writing from my b-day in August until mid September to rest and rejuvenate. I need to recover from my family visiting and the day job.

Before I started my rest I did my read through of Conquering Jazz. When I went back to do the edits I was stuck on how to work in what my agent suggested. I’m still stumped. No it’s not writer’s block. I can thankfully say I don’t usually have that problem. I’m stumped on the best way to execute the suggestions. This rest will hopefully help me also.

July has been hectic. I have family visiting and am distracted from my writing. Still covering for many other co-worker’s.

I’ve put aside Turning the Tables, the next Hamlin family & friends at least temporarily. I’m working Conquering Jazz. I had a discussion with my agent and she made some edit suggestions. I edit on paper. First I plan to do a read through from beginning to end without any stops for edits. Then I plan to do another read through and edit as I go. Then I will do another read through to see what the changes look like and do some more edits if necessary. Then I will go on the computer and do the edits then print it out again and read through again. That’s a lot of reading through. Thank god I love the characters. LOL. I’ll let you know how things are going.

June had a lot happening so I didn’t get much writing done. I went out of town and when I came back it was the summer vacation in my day job. So I was covering for many other co-worker’s.

Work on Turning the Tables, the next Hamlin family & friends novel has slowed down to a crawl. I plan to pick back up speed on this hopefully in September. I’m still writing but slower that I usually do.
