To-do lists, galleys, and links

It has been a busy week (hence the blog silence). I'm buried under both external and self-imposed deadlines and scrambling to stay on top of everything on my to-do list. I can hardly believe tomorrow will be the halfway point in the month. There are still a lot of words I need to reach my goal of finishing my WIP this month (we are just going to shut that thought behind that obscured door over there.) Oh, and I have tons to do to prepare for my February release. There are bookmarks to design and order, blog tour details to finalize, and release contests to plan.

Busy, busy!

In the meantime, if you are itching for a new post with a little more substance than my to-do list, you can check out The Magic District where I blogged about my galleys. Also, fellow Tri Mu Vert continued the Pass the Plot story I started last week, so you can check out the newest installment here.

Have a great Thursday everyone!

Mid January, and my writing is suffering greatly, because of other obligations.

Good luck to us all during this busy January.

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!
