Word Count: 56,429 I’m loving where I am in my book right now. The writing is going well, but I feel like I’m lacking in some of my sub-plots. So that makes me have to keep reading what I’ve just written, to make sure the book is going wearing I want it to. I’m upping [...] So on this post I mentioned that my word count was zero. Nada. Zilch. And now my friends my word count is…drumroll please…20,292 words! I am stocked, excited, downright giddy at the progress I’ve made in a month’s time. Actually, less than a month’s time, because I’ve been sick for two weeks, and didn’t get [...] My first two novels tackle subjects that I am very familiar with. Hair. But with this next book, (when, oh when will I be finished with this thing?) I felt the need to stretch myself. The saying, “Write what you know” holds true at first. But on my third book, I feel the need to [...] Okay, I know I’ve been absent for a few days. The daughter has been sick with a bad stomach virus that I’m praying that I don’t catch. She’s on the mend so I’m back on the blog. And what news to share! The wonderful Sarah Pekkanen will be stopping by the blog on Monday! Her [...] So many of you who follow me on Twitter (@katrinasspencer) know that the progress on my revisions took a wicked turn last week when my first reader gave me a big thumbs down on the first 100 pages of my book. “It’s a snooze fest. I love the prologue but after that, I want [...] So I’ve decided to add another character to my book. I know, I know—I foresee all sorts of trouble in adding one but my book has left me no choice. It demands another character and so I have to relent and and do its evil bidding. Really though, it can be all kinds of trouble [...] Okay, so as far as my revisions they are going quite well. I’m really happy with them. As you guys know, my first two books were published at a smaller publishing house. The book I’m working on now is the book that I hope gets attention from a bigger publisher. But last night I started [...] Welcome 2011! So hmm, what’s new? Well, I am feeling very encouraged with my book. I’m happy to say I’m back on track. After getting tons of research material and interviewing an expert, (more on that later this week) I feel that I’m shaping this novel into something—dare I say it?—great. There. It’s out there. [...] Whoops! Tomorrow turned into a week didn’t it? Sorry about that, sometimes life just gets in the way. On my last post I mentioned that I would have to re-write the first 100 pages of my WIP. Well, I have good news. Things aren’t as bad as I previously stated. Yes, my novel needs work, [...] I’m almost there guys. I’m about 100 pages away from finishing this novel. Let me rephrase that…I’m 100 pages away from finishing my second draft of this novel. I don’t know if I should laugh or cry, but I feel like crying. Let me explain. Imagine you’re running a marathon. You hear the whistle [...] |
I’m a Women’s Fiction writer with two novels under my belt, Six O’clock and Unbeweaveable. Curl Up and Write is where I fuse my two loves: hair and writing. You’d be surprised at the similarities! When I’m not writing, I’m watching How’s It Made with my Hubby (and pretending I’m not interested in learning how a tennis racket is built), or I’m reading to my daughter. I also dabble in gardening, love to cook, and watch way too much HGTV.  |
