… well almost. I have two options, so I’ve sent them off in hope of guidance, LOL
But here’s a definite part of it:
Muscles and mind straining, Inaeus hurled the
sword. Spell-thick steel buried itself deep into the monster’s
spine.The Demon screamed down the night in its pain…
That should have been the end of it.
It wasn’t.
The blurb, as per usual, is not going well *grrr*
How cute is this photo? This is an ‘action shot’ that a company took at Frodo’s school. He looks positively angelic. So not him LOL
Writing: I’ve checked through the galley of Billionaire and sent that back. I’m also about half way through Mackenzie. That should be sent out tonight. Then I have to get back to Bone Magician and also write the blurb for Demon.
Confused?
Imagine being me? 😉
And Teebee has made me a cover for Demon
here Go look. *grin*
Just got the second edits for Mackenzie. They’re very light (thank you, Ansley *grin*) and they’re done! Yay.
I’m up to Chapter Twenty Two with Bone Magician. So hopefully, I’ll be done with that very soon too.
Samhain took up To Summon a Demon, YAY!
Now I just have the nightmare of the blurb again.
But Conde, the heroine, is so cool. Well, I think so.
The Ent keeps totalling up the contracts. He does it about once a week, now, LOL
“So, that’s four?”
“Yes.”
“Four contacts, four books. Cool.”
…of a sort.
I got an email from my Samhain editor saying that she would read Demon over the weekend. This is cool. One, it means that it actually got to her. My email had a fit after I sent it (trying to tell me something ;-0). And two, it means I haven’t got to spend every day refreshing my email to see if something new has come in, LOL I do that. A lot.
I’m also only thirty pages for the first run through of Bone Magician. I think the plot and characters are sound and it just needs a bit of sentence tweaking and fragment filling. I think in fragments, LOL My writing is full of it. I can’t help myself.
There are also just a few descriptions that need completing/referencing. So I should be able to get it sent before I disappear to the darkest depths of Wales for my hols in about a fortnight.
And nope I am not thinking about the cost of the postage…
Had a nice Mother’s Day – mainly because I was allowed to sleep and try to sweat out of my system the latest of my lurgies. No headache this time. Just a woosy disorientation, LOL
On the plus side – I just had a final rip through To Summon a Demon and sent it off into the big, bad world.
Not that I have any nails, but the one’s I do have are in biting reach again 😉
I’ve spent the day at a rewriting/editing course. Did I learn anything?
Well, in the morning there were hints that I could learn something, but the lecturer was very easily distracted onto other topics and in the meander I had to wonder what the point was.
In the afternoon… that’s when my headache started. And I’ve still got it.
We had to read a synopsis, applying the method to which he had briefly alluded in the three hours previous to this. It was his synopsis. For his current novel. And the first chapter.
This went on for another three hours and I felt like I was in his fan club.
So, no, I didn’t learn anything.
That’s not true. As Impworks mentioned on his blog, I learned that I won’t be doing any more Creative Writing courses with Liverpool University.
To Summon A Demon is finished. It came in at a decent 12127.
I’ve not thought about it and sent it off to Tee-Kruger-Bee for a mauling.
And now that I’ve stopped being distracted, I can go back to Heiress and Bone Magician.
You just know that something will distract me again next week, don’t you?
Frodo’s eating a banana.
I think that I must point out that he hasn’t really eaten any sort of fruit for almost 3 years.
Now he’s finished and Samwise has screamed for the end of it. I’ve just chased him three 3 rooms trying to keep banana off the furniture.
So much for grabbing 10 minutes of writing time. Demon has chugged along today. I have the begining of the scene and know where it has to end. I just have to have the mechanics of the middle… *sigh*
