It’s not procrastination…it’s…ok, it’s procrastination.

I’ve known for a few months now that I have an entire chapter I need to rewrite, specifically, Chapter 4.  It’s a tough chapter.  There is a lot of information to get into the chapter, but it can’t sound backstoryish or have too much telling.  The problem is that it is critical information.  However, because I know it’s going to take some work, I keep putting it off.  I’ve been working on chapter 1, chapter 2, chapter 3,…you get the idea.  I keep telling myself that chapter 4 is stewing in my brain and that when I get down to it, it won’t be as hard as I think.  We’ll see if that’s true.  I am bound and determined to finally get to it this week and next.  Cross your fingers.  It could either be one of the best chapters — or one of the most confusing.

New theme…again.

So I really liked the last theme except for the part where if I posted something about writing, the same picture showed up big and little on right on top of each other.  This theme gives me the options to add featured images without doubling up on the picture.  I like it.  And I like the little polka dots in the background.  If I can find a good one, I can even use my own custom background picture.  And now I’ve wasted way too much time playing around with this and need to get back to something productive.

Absolute write…absolutely!!

I’ve been spending a lot of time on Absolute Write lately and wanted to let you know how absolutely amazing it is.  Mostly I’m in the forums, specifically “share your work.”  I’ve posted my work there and gotten some great feedback from other writers.  Some of the advice is perfect.  I also get to see samples of other people’s work and share my opinion.  It’s a great place to get to know other writers and to get feedback on your own stuff.

I’ve been especially excited this last round.  As anyone who reads frequently knows, I’ve been working and working and working on my first chapter, specifically the first few pages.  That’s where you either catch the interest of the reader — or you don’t.  Anyway, I’ve gotten some great reviews this time around.  People still want my first few paragraphs to be shorter, but after that, everyone seems to like what they’re reading.  That not only makes me feel like I’m progessing, but that maybe someday you’ll all be able to buy my finished book.

Here’s hoping!!
