Nano day 16: There are no sick days

Hey guys. No questions answered in this post. No impressive word count either--most of my gained words are from yesterday. Most, but not all.

Today I must admit to being sick. The coughing-headache-fever kind of sick.

ick.

Thank goodness for laptops. I did get a few words in today. Mostly I've been watching Buffy and sleeping. Fun.


So, short post.


22759 / 50000 words. 46% done!

I hope the rest of you are doing better than me. So how are those word counts coming? Good night everyone!

Day 16: 26,904/50,000

I had to run to Bryn Mawr for a doctor's appointment (4 hour round trip for a 20 minute appointment) and it totally messed up my Monday so I only ended up with 944 words...

The Revision Game, Part one--2nd drafts: The Big Picture

Last month Cher asked me to go into more specifics about how I revise novels. I didn't get a chance to post on the topic during the NaNo challenge, so I thought I'd delve into it now. In parts. Yes, I'm breaking it down that much. Those of you who won NaNo last month are hopefully still racing toward those magical words "The End" (or maybe some of you have hit them already). But what do you do after you reach those words? Personally, I close the file. Then I don't open it again for at least two weeks (if at all possible). During that down time I work on other projects, write a short story, talk to my neglected husband, read as many books as I can without my eyes rolling out of my head, whatever--the point is to let the dust settle on the story I just finished. (**Note: I highly recommend still writing something while letting a first draft sit. It takes about 3 weeks to form a habit, so if you slip out of the habit of writing, you have to force yourself to

What's Next?

A lot of people are writing to ask if Grave Destiny is the final book in the series. I'm very happy to report that no, this is not the end! Ace has contracted one final Alex Craft novel so that I can finish up the story. I'm currently writing the first draft, and while it has a tentative title, I'm not free to share it quite yet. I'll be turning in the 7th Alex Craft novel this September, so I anticipate it will be released late 2020 or early 2021 but will update you when I have more information. So, for those of you worried that this might be the end, worry not. There is more. I hope you are enjoying Grave Destiny!
