Cover Art

Boy! It's been a while since I have last blogged. I'll have to not let such a large time span between postings happen again. Seems like just yesterday was St. Valentine's Day.

Now on to my current news: Hooray! I finally got my cover art done today. It looks nice, too! Even goes well with my website. =) I'll post more about that when I can.

On the editing front, I am beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel, but it's been a challenge with this work, MELODY OF LOVE. I can't wait to finish it.

That's all for now though. It's been a long day.

'Night!

Happy Valentine's Day everyone!

Not too much to tell for now.

'Night!

Hi everyone. Sorry it's been so quiet recently. My family has been sick and so I've been recovering and taking care of them. I've also been entranced by an amazing XBOX 360 game, Assassin's Creed. The graphics are wonderful... beautiful... the music is as well. The story was fascinating and made me want to know more, and it was all done fantasically! I'm so sad that the game is over. I loved it and can't wait until Assassin's Creed 2 comes out.

As for the writing front, I received my edits for my manuscript MELODY OF LOVE. I'm excited about that and have begun editing it. My first editor revisions! Hooray!

Hooray! Today I broke 75k! I'm so happy about that! I'm just 4.5k from achieving my goal of 80,000 words, but I'm coming to realize that it doesn't look like the novel will be able to finish itself in that amount of words since I wrote 4k today that didn't get me nearly as far as I thought it would. Looking at books with 100,000 (or more!) words makes me feel overwhelmed like I could never do that, but this novel is showing me that 80k isn't really that much.

Anyways, today's writing was hard since I had to try to figure out a way to get myself out of a "problem" that I'd thought of. I did somewhat, but I know I'll have to go later in the story and figure it out. What was I having trouble with? Ah, well you'll have to wait a little to find out, now won't you? =P

Not too much else I can think of for now, so I'm calling it a night. =)

'Night!

Hello! I'm feeling really happy about today because I broke 70k words for my novel AF!! Hooray!! I feel like the end is in sight! Maybe not as much as I'd like it to be, but it's finally visible!

Also, on a side note, I mentioned yesterday that I received my PRO pin, and for y'all who might not know, that is a pin given by Romance Writers of America to writers who are pursuing publication. To have gotten it, I submitted my completed manuscript, Melody of Love, to Firedrakes Weyr. I'm waiting now for my revisions from them, but with the grand opening just happening a few days ago, I am trying to be patient! But, I really can't wait for them.

In the meantime, I'm going to bed, and I'm so trying to complete AF soon to have yet another completed manuscript out there. =)

'Night!

Tagged

Hello everyone!

I've been tagged by my friend Wendi Darlin. Here's how it works:

The rules of this meme are simple.

1. Link back to the person who tagged you.


2. Post the rules on your blog.


3. Share six unimportant things about yourself.


4. Tag six random people at the end of your blog entry.

5. Let the tagged people know by leaving a comment on their blogs.




Six unimportant things about me:

1. I love cats now, but used to be dog-obsessed. (Dogs are good, too, but I wouldn't trade in my cats for the world.)

2. When I'm out I tend to order Margaritas.

3. Video/computer games make me instantly addicted, so I have to control myself when I play them. Especially since I should be writing!

4. I love to sleep. It can be a hobby of sorts at times, but again, one that I have to watch closely.

5. Sometimes I feel homesick for Finland, even though it's not technically my "home," but I did spend almost 2 months there this past summer and over a week there the summer before that.

6. I got my PRO pin today! =) So it's important, I had to toss something in the last slot.
