The countdown continues...

Just under 50 pages remain of this major edit.

YAY, ME!!!! 

I'm getting into another spot that requires everything from major rewriting to simple sentence restructuring, some clarification, and probably a bit of scene shuffling. I can't say how long that will take even though the previous 50 pages only took two days.

And though I tried to approach this project objectively, I still laughed and teared up at certain points. 

I've also figured out how to let people know this story, while remaining the same, is substantially different from the first edition. This edition will include the subtitle new revised edition.

I think that's it for now. Have a productive weekend! ♥

HUGE Leap Forward

I spent yesterday with Heartless and managed to get through the rest of chapter eight. I then moved on to complete nine, ten, and eleven. I'm reaching the halfway done mark. So here's that thumbs-up guy again, 'cause wow. I might actually deserve a thumbs-up this time. :O) 

Meanwhile, I may need to select another excerpt to tide y'all over until this book is back on the shelves. Let me look through what I've edited so far and see what I'm willing to share. ;O) 

Narcissism and ADD

Chapter 7: DONE! 

Chapter 8: two pages away from DONE! 

You may wonder why I didn't just finish the final two pages of chapter eight but that's because you don't know me nor the nature of the ADD beast that rides me. Yes, it's that bad. Thus the reason Heartless is not back on the market. 

I think I deserve an enthusiastic thumbs-up, despite the paltry amount I accomplished. So do you, nameless reader of my narcissistic little blog. What writing task have you accomplished today (or this week, month, or year)? 

Again, please do not steal my guy. He is licensed, not owned. If you steal him, you are a despicable human being. Just saying. 

Another chapter done!

  Thumbs-Up Guy*

  Chapter six of Heartless is officially edited and I'm halfway through chapter seven. YAY!! 

 Meanwhile, inspiration struck, compelling me to write the first 1000 words on one of my many other Regencies, specifically Flawless. A major plot change demanded a full rewrite, thus rendering the 30k I'd already written worthless. (In case you're wondering, Derringer is not in Flawless, though he does [will] get a mention. He's out of the country at the time Flawless takes place.) 

  So, that's it for Heartless updates, for the moment, anyway. I hope to get back to it later today. 

  *FYI, this is Thumbs-Up Guy, here to give me a big thumbs-up for my itty-bitty accomplishment ... hence the name. You may see him from time to time from now on, as I work my way through this and other stories of mine. He makes me smile. If you've accomplished something today, he's giving you the thumbs-up, too. ☺ Please don't steal the image; I don't own it, I've only licensed the use of it. Thank you.
