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 [...] So I’m done with round one of revisions, (can you hear the glee in my voice?) and now I’m on to round two. Like I’ve mentioned before I’m doing this book a little different than my previous books. As Maya Angelou says, “I did then what I knew how to do. Now that I know [...] Sorry, for the brief post, but I’m in revision mode and trying to get back on schedule, (somewhat.) Oh, and another thing—Amber over at Brown Bombshell Beauty did a wonderful write-up of Unbeweaveable. Brown Bombshell Beauty is just what the title implies—a blog dedicated to the beauty of brown-skinned women. They always have great tips [...] So on my last post I mentioned that I finished my book. (How many times am I going to mention this you ask? Hmmm, how ‘bout one more—I finished my book! Squeee!) I go over my draft several times before I let a few people in my circle read it. But before I begin [...] Comparing an episode of Seinfeld to writing my book. [...] How making scenes simple made for a better book. [...] Writing my best work at all times. [...] Trying to grow out my hair and my novel. [...] Writing something when you’re not good at it. [...] Talks about the need to show versus tell in our books and to let go of words or expressions that are overused. [...] |
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.  |
