Yesterday as much as I needed to edit, I needed to take a day to chill. I suntanned for an hour. It was nice and peaceful. Well, that is until everyone decided to work on their yard. Then it was just too much noise to relax. I found a series of books written about what my major specialization was on... Sign in to see full entry.

I started the edit. It's hard to concentrate and figure out where to add to the story to enrich it, not just pad it. I want to add value. I have stacks of books that I have bought and borrowed since I arrived in Florida. Has it really been six months? I have two books left to finish from the library... Sign in to see full entry.

I hate Ebay. I won't purchase anything from there again. I didn't know they allowed sellers that can refuse to give refunds. Now I'm on hold in chat waiting over 10 minutes to try to get this resolved. That seller is getting the lowest rating possible. I tried to refund it yesterday and I couldn't....

I have my download of Final Draft 11 and have already started working on the edit and lengthening of Good Ole Joe. It is only 25 pages and needs to be 90! I checked on my tapestries and they are already on their way. They are waiting to go through customs and then I should have them soon. I am very... Sign in to see full entry.
My Paypal account is fixed. It appears I put my change of address in with them, yet the post office sent my first statement here back! I can now use it. Yippee! The first thing I did was order Final Draft 11. The second was to take advantage of Grammarly's discount of 45%. It cost roughly about 75... Sign in to see full entry.

I have two readers already for my novella. Thankful to those who volunteered and hope they enjoy it. It was a fun writing experience. My second son gave me a new cell apple cell phone for Mother's Day! How cool is that? I will use it for my business phone for notary/wedding, writing/editing and... Sign in to see full entry.

Woot woot! I finished! Now I am looking for two people to read it and give me feedback. Just shoot me an email with READER in the subject line if you can do this and get back to me by Monday with any feedback. It's about a two hour read. I'm now ready to start back on my screenplays in the meantime.... Sign in to see full entry.

I decided to make this just one book instead of a 2 or 3 volume series. I wish to move to another project. I have reached page 80 and realized on this one there is one loose end that I didn't tie up. I will sleep on it and see what idea(s) pop into my head or if the characters have any input. I'm... Sign in to see full entry.

This edit seems to be taking forever. However, the story flows better. I hate the overuse of commas, but it seems Word and Grammarly both think I need more than I do. I've fixed the inconsistencies. It feels like the edit takes longer than the writing! As of right now, the word count increased over... Sign in to see full entry.
