…but I swear I haven’t abandoned the blog and become a lazy person. I think I’ve mentioned this already (?), but my husband and I bought a house! Then we moved into said house three weeks ago. This house is being renovated and the workers are doing a splendid job…but they were supposed to be done […]
So I don’t have a whole lot to say. The Frenchman and I are packing yet again to move into a new house. Our current home is a jungle of boxes and packing paper. Hopefully this next home, though, will be the final home. At least for a few years. (I am so sick of moving! This […]
Hello, everyone! We have a slightly different week for you–a week of paying forward all the many blessings we here at Pub(lishing) Crawl have had. A week of talking about who and what we’re grateful for–and a week of giving back. The idea came about after we heard about a book called Poison by Bridget […]
I’m BACK! Oh my gosh, that was an intense couple of months. But I come baring some news! First off: TOMORROW, me and several other authors have a very big, very COOL announcement. So stay tuned! Second: I’ll be doing this super cool event in Dallas on April 27th. Along with 9 other YA authors, I’ll […]
#BAMFWordBattle is something I started on Twitter (along with Sarah J. Maas) to help other writers get more productive. It started with #NaNoWriMoBattle back in November, but we wanted to keep doing it after the insanity that is NaNo… So #BAMFWordBattle was born. Essentially, these epic battles are 30 minute writing sprints done on Twitter. […]
I am deep in Revison Land. It’s a lot like those Tilt-a-Whirl rides that make you lose all concept with reality. Or all control of your lunch… Actually, it’s a LOT like this poor guy, and all I wan to do is beg Janice to make it STOP. Actually, that’s not true. I hit a […]
This year was Sooz’s third NaNoWriMo and Sarah’s first–needless to say, we learned a LOT about our writing processes. It doesn’t matter how many books you write, you always learn something new by the end of the ordeal (and trust us: writing is an ordeal. An amazing, fulfilling one, but an ordeal nonetheless). We thought we’d […]
Nothing could apply more to publishing. We are down to the final days of NaNoWriMo, and I bet some of you are facing a lack motivation to reach the end…or maybe you’re facing the daunting task of what’s next (revisions! Uh, yay…?). You’re not alone. Writing is never, EVER an easy process. There are easy days, […]
Oh. My. GOSH. We are so close to the end of NaNoWriMo. Can you taste it? I can taste it (or maybe that’s all the garlic mashed potatoes I gorged on yesterday for Thanksgiving. I could kill a vampire with this breath). Only 1 week left until THE END of NaNoWriMo 2012. The last week […]
WOOHOO! We are now HALWAY through NaNoWriMo! How are you all doing? I’m pleased with where things are going, though….I’ll be honest, I definitely lost a lot of steam this week. I got my revision letter for the novella, which makes that #1 priority over NaNo. BUT, thanks to these daily #NaNoWriMoBattles, I’m still hammering […]
