Back To The Salt Mines

Or some such thing. On Monday afternoon, my critique group threatened me with bodily harm if I didn't get back to working on my werewolf story. Specifically because I've had an editor express interest in seeing it rewritten. According to them, I just need to bear down and do it. Whether I really "feel" like it or not.

So, I'm back to working on a rewrite that I've started twice over. This is the third, so that makes four start-ups on this story (the original and three rewrites). I think that's my problem... I've been working on it so much I've just gotten tired of it. But it's a good premise, and there's interest.

In effort to preserve my physical well-being, I'm getting back to it. That's my goal for March: get this rewrite finished and then start on the edits. I hope to have it submitted by some time in May.

First I need to finish a short story I've gotten stalled on, a submission for a Christmas anthology. My hero and heroine are on the cusp--the cusp, I tell you!--and they've been hanging there for three days. I gotta get things moving along.

So, this morning I'm dedicating a full four hours of writing. Then a break for lunch and a trip to the post office to mail out gifts to contest winners, stop by the grocery store for some essentials (including chips and salsa) on the way home, then more writing.

This evening, I and other Whiskey Creek Press Torrid authors will be at Fallen Angel Reviews for an author chat. Stop by (go to FAR and click 'chat', and follow the instructions to enter the main room) and talk with us!


P.S. My birthday yesterday was great. Thanks to everyone who sent me well-wishes. I appreciate it!
