Computer problems kept me away but even though the computer is still not in top form, I still get a few hours a day to write, research, and post.

Tasks for today:

Write another chapter  for WIP

Status check on unanswered subs

Read regularly visited blogs and comment if appropriate

Work on illustrations for project 2

…lowly household chores like make dinner, etc. Thankfully, cleaning lady is scheduled for tomorrow.

I tried to write without going back—plunging forward chapter after chapter. I couldn’t do it. I went back to the beginning, nitpicked a bit and then decided my MC was boring, some characters too “bubblegum”, and the story was fizzing out as I went along.

Sat down and totally retooled my characters, made an outline (like I used to do)and —in my opinion–it was the right choice. I cut mercilessly but now my excitement for the project is renewed.

I am a beta reader for a woman who writes paranormal/sci fi’ish fiction. Developing the rules of an alternate world is hard–especially when it involves technology(I am so not mechanically inclined) but it is so essential.

Made another successful recipe for my cookbook yesterday and made a pretty chocolate cake today–hopefully it tastes as good as it looks. Now, I’m done baking and back to werewolves.

Got a request for another full today!

I found this section from the blue board that i had never seen before http://www.verlakay.com/Pages/34Transcripts.html

Great interviews! Thought I’d tell all my blog readers or a um… reader, Jenn.
