Vacation Over
Wow...that was quick.
And what did Auntie Heather do on her vacation, you ask? She lounged around in comfy yoga pants and watched zombies die (Paul's playing Dead Rising on XBox 360. Note to Minions: buy one. It's awesome.). She also realized that there is little sense in putting off NGS revisions. They have to be done, and no one is going to do them for me.
Lesson #463 of being a writer: The work never goes away, might as well tighten the straps on your jacket and face it.
So now I'm three chapters in and the concerns I had about the revisions are looking pretty silly. This book blows me away. I'd thought the best that I culd write was all encased in EGB's story, but...nope.
Lesson #527 of being a writer: You can always do better--the key is to keep writing.
I'm also rather obsessed with grapefruit at the moment, and daydreaming of warm weather. But then, who isn't? (The warmth thing, not the grapefruit thing) Oh! Before I forget, all of you Minions better click on "Win Things!" at the top of this page and enter, because you can win an autographed ARC of EIGHTH GRADE BITES! Plus a cool coffin clock! And a gift card to Hot Topic! Plus, I'll even send along my undying love and affection. Okay, so you won't be able to see it exactly, but trust me...it's there.
For now, it's back to revising NGS.
Lesson #1 of being a writer: Never, ever, ever give up.

You are right, Heather. You must write on and complete those revisions, so that we'll all have something else to read! :*)
I think the real key to #527 is knowing when to let go :)
#1 is the hardest of all... well, at least for me these days.
Keep up the good work. :)=
Glad to see you back among the living...the undead....errr, something ;)
If you're looking for movies...check out "Behind the Mask" - Cat's a horror movie reviewers and the damn thing rocked so much even I don't mind watching it more than once ;)
Edits = always the hardest part...of course, at once time, I thought the writing was the hardest....
