And FINALLY I love what I got. The story will go to my copyeditor tomorrow, I’ll figure out in the meantime what sort… Continue reading Editor’s Revision DONE on LONGVIEW #1

LONGVIEW revision is done! Starting type-in.

The series matrix worked well, I got an ending I’m much happier with, and revised all 60 pages yesterday and today. So now I’ll do type-in, and hand the whole thing off to Matt for content editing when it’s done. And then I’ll build out the rest of HTWAS Expansion Module 1. Rather than beta… Continue reading LONGVIEW revision is done! Starting type-in.

Upcoming Stories and Classes #writer #reader

I’ve been nearly invisible here for ages because migraines left me with barely enough energy to keep courses running and get some writing done. But a low-sodium diet is proving to have a 1:1 correlation with the migraines—if I accidentally eat something high in sodium, I pay for it with three days of migraines, starting… Continue reading Upcoming Stories and Classes #writer #reader
