Betterer & Betterer

Something I do all the time is to write down lines or ideas and email them to myself. I used to put them on bits of paper, but they go missing.

Even such mundane things as names for characters are always evolving in my story. I like to think it's all taking Great Scott to a higher level.

Progress, at last

Set myself the task of completing the first three chapters this weekend to re-edit and I've done it already. Think I might just forge ahead and see if I can't complete another three.

So many kids, so little time

The plan is still afloat, but the boat is leaking and listing to one side.

I have let things slide a bit, I admit, lately. A new baby will do that. Most days I'm so tired my eyes burn. Plus, I warn you, FB scrabble is a killer for spare time.

Reading For A Friend

I'm halfway through reading a friends manuscript. It is fantastic, which is highlighted by the fact that I don't usually like the genre she's written and yet I can't put it down.

I've only read the work of a couple of select friends and I have to say it is a great way to hone your own skills. There's something about finding strong and weak points in a raw work that gets the gears working.

A Bit of Fun :)

This video starts out a little confronting, but ends nicely.

Where Am I At?

I had no idea what kind of a minefield I was stepping into when I decided to self publish this book. I'm beginning to understand why there are coffee shops of experts who usually handle all these jobs in the big publishing companies.

I'm waiting to hear back from my good friend, Karen, who is casting a critical eye over my work. Can't wait to hear how bad it was so I can begin a rewrite. Not sure about other writers, but I enjoy re-writing my work. Getting the ideas down on paper in the first place is the hard part.

Meanwhile, my good wife, Tracey, and I are embarking on another self publish book project - how to raise a large family on a tiny budget. Warning! Once you get started on this stuff, it's hard to stop.

Cheers !
