Step One

Right now I'm downloading the software Calibre so I can transfer my MS over to my Nook. After that it's time to read. The mighty red pen and equally eager backspace button don't have a say until I get at least one read through. After that, we'll see.

Wish me luck!

Confession

I got my New Moon tickets today! Yes, I know, it's not hitting theaters for another month, but the show sells out fast and I didn't want to be left out in the cold (seriously, I live in Michigan. It's freezing here already). Yay! I'm so flippin' excited even though the book lacks literal merit (all those adverbs!) and Rob Pattinson can't act (but he looks hot!) and Kristen Stewart is just so socially awkward (she really, really, is!) - I still will be there on midnight with my fellow Twi-hards wearing my New Moon gear and screaming with delight.

In other news, I've been busy editing these last few days. It's more like adding as opposed to editing seeing I'm taking an agent's advice and bringing more of the beauty selling aspect into Beauty Secrets. I'm also adding to my query letter, which I'm planning on posting here and over at the PQS soon. All of your feedback will be mucho appreciated.

Thanks and Happy Friday.

Must. Stay. Focused.

It's a rainy morning in mid-Michigan, which is a good thing. Hopefully it'll help me focus. Yesterday I once again experienced editing ADD.

You know - Read a page, check my email. Add an adjective, fold the laundry. Read another page, get the mail. Reread a page, let the dog out. And so on and so on.

I'm a sucker for a distraction.

Well, today I have no excuse. Although I have already been bopping around on blogs this a.m. But, I'm not going to explore the Internet anymore! Okay, well, not until I finish reading Chapter 6. I guess I better get started!

Oh wait, I think the coffee's finished brewing. What's another five minutes?
