Tyrion looks alarmed because I had to take some extreme measures for the sake of this blog post. Dud


Other than that, the novel rewrite  I started back in April is nearing completion. I've got one more chapter left to read through tonight and then it's off to my agent. I like the book quite a bit now, although I did find myself nodding off in a few chapters that didn't need much revising from the original. Here is the text message exchange between myself and my fabulous writer friend when I was editing those chapters: mcca
How exciting can words be when you've read them 25 times, though, right? You could be writing about exploding dragons in space and you'd still be like "Ugh. Enough with the exploding space dragons mcca already!"

First of all, I love seeing that phrase "my husband and I" and I just imagine you in your married mcca bliss... Secondly, I love your tree butwhy does Tyrion look so alarmed?! mcca Were you threatening him with tinsel or something? Lastly, your words are still exciting even on the 26th read. And as for me, exploding dragons in space just never lose their appeal. Reply Delete
Tyrion looks alarmed because I had to take some extreme measures for the sake of this blog post. Dude was hanging by the craft services table on the Game of Thrones set, and then I show up with a chloroform-soaked rag and, well, the rest is history. So you like exploding dragons, huh? Looks like novel #3 will basically write itself then! Delete
