Mission Accomplished!
Well, I succeeded! My goal for this week was to finish editing my novel so I’d be ready to start formatting it for publication, and I just reached the final page. Of course, I added about 6,500 words this week, so I’m still going to have to give the thing one more proof-read to make sure I didn’t screw anything up in the process.
So, what now? Next for this book is the above-referenced proof read, of course, plus formatting it and getting it ready to publish through Misanthrope Press. I also have to get the cover art together. I was also 100%, totally serious on my NaNo WriMo page when I said I was going to dedicate my first published novel to Chris Baty, so I should probably email him soon for permission, and hope it gets through the NaNo jungle in time for him to reply to me!
Meanwhile, I’m working on editing stories and doing page layout for Issue 3 of Title Goes Here: and working on a new short story of my own. Hoping to have draft one of that done by the end of this week just beginning. We’ll see how that goes…
The only other thing I can think of right now is my friend and fellow CMC officer J.M. Vogel finally got her own blog up and running this weekend. It’s only one post in, but promises to be a very interesting one to watch, as she’s basically chronicling her experiences as a new writer. I’ve added it to the links section–definitely check it out!
That’s it for me for now! Off to find something for dinner…
