Nope, I'm not giving a concert. I'm just removing myself from the internet for a little while to wrap up revisions on PPP. That's right, wrap up.
Things just really clicked this week (love it when that happens!) and I'm so excited about the way the manuscript's turning out. I know where I have to go and I'll be working to get there over the long break.
I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving and I'll see you back here in December.
Glad the 'marriage' is back on sound ground, Julie! Have a great Thanksgiving, and can't wait to see you back here in December with your finished revisions under your belt.
Oh, YAY! I just read this and your "Marriage" post, so I'm happy for your second honeymoon. Sorry that it took so long to get y, but I was chin-deep in NaNo, then I was fatigued -- go figure ;)
I am a young aspiring author and I've been writing since I could hold a pen. Join me as I navigate the post-college world and work towards my dream of getting published. I am currently writing a YA novel and plan on seeking literary representation in the near future.
