Round of Words in 80 Days

NaNo has begun!

I am off to a GREAT start. Day one closed with my having logged 3115 words over two documents–one short story (and a very strange one at that) and one… I don’t quite know what to call it, but it’ll be the “glue” or transitional text to hold all the other short stories together in my anthology.

I also edited several chapters of my novel on day one of NaNo. I think I have about 8 more chapters to go, then tackle the edits for the three added scenes, then do an overall review of my edits, then ship off.

Did I mention I get to reveal my novel’s cover and back blurb on November 14th? I do! I can’t wait to share it. I think my publisher, J Taylor, did an outstanding job capturing the tone of the novel and in helping me with the back blurb, never mind who did most of the heavy lifting **cough**J Taylor**cough**. A little less than two weeks to go.

My goals and current stats for this round are on my ROW80-4 page.

Two days until NaNo!

I’m not quite ready but I’m not worried about it. I did update my NaNo novel info this AM at the NaNo site to include my novella expansion and to swap out my next YA project for the sequel to an existing Claire novel if I still need words.

Still editing but I just dashed off the final intimacy scene to my editor for The PURE.

All 41 hours of my required continuing professional education for my annual CPA license renewal are complete. Yay! Huge relief to have that done.

I still need to finish my edits for The PURE and I’m expecting edits for my Christmas ditty to arrive any day now. I know the anthology’s editor has been busy with all the stories of late.
