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.
*WAVES HANDS* SECOND ROUND! ME! MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
Also YAY FOR COMPLETION! I love that first gif XD
When the second round is ready, I promise you will be contacted. :D I’m looking forward to hearing your thoughts!
I tell you, they don’t make light bulbs like they used to… ;) Go back to candlelight. It’ll make the room look like your in the mood for a romantic evening, or a human sacrifice–whatever puts you in the mood for your story, I suppose… :)
Congrats on getting edits done! I’m not quite ready to submit to WOC yet, but hopefully will by the end of the weekend. I look forward to “seeing” you there, Emma. :D
Congratulations on finishing your edits! I’ll bet that feels uh-may-zing.
I love that flow chart. Chuck Wendig is so awesome.
Feel better soon!
Congrats on finishing the edits Emma! If you want I could be a beta reader for you, I’d love to help you. I do hope you’ll get over your flu soon.
