A to Z April Blogging Challenge<\/a><\/p>\n

Quill as in writing implement, because that’s what I’ve been doing. Writing. Well, editing really or rewriting, which I love. Therefore, I’ve fallen a wee bit behind on this blogging challenge. I kind of missed l, m, n, o, and p. Which is too bad because they’re lovely letters.<\/p>\n

I’d been waiting for that final piece of the puzzle to come to me and when it did I had to deal with the revelation. I was actually starting to get kind of worried that it wasn’t coming. How was I going to tie it all together? What about the little hints I’d left? The trail of bread crumbs was going to lead to…nothing. Then it came to me. I should have dedicated the letter F to Faith and how I needed to remember to have some.<\/p>\n

At that point in writing the first draft, usually this happenes about the halfway point, I need to go back and rewrite the first half so everything fits into place. Then I go on and write the last half. I know you’re suppose to pump out all of the first draft first but that process doesn’t work for me. I know, I tried it once. For National Novel Writing Month in 2009. The experience is still burned in my memory. It took me five years to fix that book. Okay, I didn’t work on it for the entire five years, but it was such a mess I had to put it away until I figured out how to deal with it.<\/p>\n

L<\/strong><\/em> is for Last Half<\/p>\n

M<\/strong><\/em> is for Mess<\/p>\n

N<\/strong><\/em> is National Novel Writing Month<\/p>\n

O<\/strong><\/em> and P<\/strong><\/em> are for Pump It Out<\/p>\n

Thankfully EXPOSED is set to release this year and I should get the date soon.<\/p>\n
