More Updates...

Today I received, did, and sent back my first round of edits on my DRitC story: Hollow’s Trouble… to my editor Jennifer M over at MMRomance on Goodreads. I’m not sure if I’ll get second edits or if it will go straight to formatting—I’ll keep you all informed. 

Now I’m back to working on Hidden Hearts 1: Harder & Harder To Breathe. As soon this is done I’ll send it and HH2: One Last Kiss Goodbye off to Fireborn Publishing. I'll make sure to keep letting you know what's going on.

What's Up...

Okay, I know I've been slack in the whole updating my blogs... I don't really have an excuse. I could blame it on my family, but really it's because I got sucked into watching the X-files... I'm just about to start on season 4... the kids and I love it.

Updates on my writing... 

1) I have just done and sent back my first round of edits to MLRPress for The Lines of Marsden 3: You Make Me Die In Pieces
2) I'm still waiting on edits for my DRitC Story Hollow's Trouble... I hear the MMRomance Group are really backed up though so I don't mind waiting. I think mine was one of the last ones to be submitted.
3) I'm half way through Hidden Hearts 1: Harder & Harder to Breathe. As soon as it's done I'll send it along with HH2: One last Kiss Goodbye to Fireborn Publishing.
4) I'm about a third of the way through The Connelly Chronicles 2: Beautiful Goodbyes for Pride Publishing.
5) Found my missing notes for one of my stories Quaide's Crossing 1: Meghan's Way... seriously I had gathered them and put them all together in a folder labeled with their series name... do you think I could find it? Nope. Turns out it was beside my computer the whole time. I had just forgotten that I had moved it all to the folder and it was fricken fluoro orange so how I missed that is beyond me.

PS: The picture of the bat is here for no other reason than because I love bats...

Formatting & Edits

I was reading a styling guide for one of my publishers and realised that for some reason I've been formatting my work for them wrongly. I always try and set my formatting correctly for each publisher. I think if I start my manuscript with the correct formatting then I won't forget to do it before submission—believe me I have done it before and had the manuscript sent back because of that reason. When I submit the next two stories -  Hidden Hearts 1: Harder & Harder To Breathe, and HH2: One Last Kiss Goodbye.
B - HTI also heard from the MMRomance Group that I'll be getting edits for DRitC story: Hollow's Trouble. sometime soon and it may take a month to get everything done before my story will be ready for release.

Why Is It...

Why is it when you are as busy as all get go, something comes along to throw you off track. I was totally keeping up with my writing schedule...Okay, maybe I was almost keeping up. I'm still working on The Connelly Chronicles 2: Beautiful Goodbyes... and Hidden Hearts 1: Harder & Harder To Breathe... I'll be playing the catch up game for the next week so that I can finish on time... I have no doubt I will finish. When I get closer to the end of the month I will tell you what I will be working on for July.

Ethan tripped over his own feet at school while playing sports and clocked his head on the footy posts. The school rang me and told me what had happened both the school and Ethan reassured me when he was okay. When he got home from school that afternoon and showered I realised he should have gone to the hospital. So Emily and I took him to the hospital who said he should have had stitches when it first happened. By the time he git there it was too swollen to stitch so they glued him back together. I thought I was clumsy--Ethan is way worse than I am.

Emily is moving home again and has been for the last couple of weeks. I swear to God it feels like she just moved out. But due to unforeseen circumstances and the hubs being fly in fly out to NZ. We need at least one person at home who can drive at night (I'm night blind and useless). Emily is about to have her exams for her first semester of uni in the next couple of weeks.
