We’re seven days into August already! Kind of alarming, isn’t it? Here’s a slightly delayed What’s Up Wednesday post to confuse you this Thursday.

What I’m Reading

I’m on a comic book kick, having finished Hawkeye Vol.2 and Saga Vol.2. I’m slowly getting back into reading, but time’s not been on my side for getting stuck into a good book.

Also, every lightbulb in the house keeps blowing. Reading is surprisingly difficult without lightbulbs… also, I should probably be worried this is foreshadowing a horror movie moment where all the lights go out at once.

What I’m Writing

THE REVISIONS ARE DONE THE REVISIONS ARE DONE THE REVISIONS ARE DONE
*fireworks* *confetti*

The revisions are over and done, and the story is out to the lovely betas, who I trust to tell me exactly how far I have to go. I’m looking forward to it.

(Also, if you’re interested in being a beta reader for the second round, just let me know!)

While DIVIDE’so out with betas, I’ve been sinking my teeth into an edit of ALL THE BROKEN THINGS. It’s really good to be working on some new-ish material, but at the same time it’s unnerving to have something so raw and unpolished to work on.

What Inspires Me Right Now

I went to see Laura Lam perform a reading in Inverness yesterday! It was really lovely meeting her, and the Inverness Book Festival audience asked some really interesting questions.

Also, Chuck Wedig’s had some great blogs out lately, answering the big questions like Can You Force Art? and Are You A Real Writer?.

 

What Else I’ve Been Up To

Driving lessons are still going well! However, I’ve been lousy with the flu for a few days.

I also joined WriteOnCon! It’ll get its own post when I get round to it, but if you’re taking part you can find my account here, my query here, and my 1st 250 words here.
