I’m over at the Ruby Slippered Sisterhood today talking about Writing Through the Hard Times. Come on over and keep me company!

Congratulations to my wonderful Ruby sisters who rocked the Golden Heart stage on RITA/GH Awards night! I am so proud of you guys!

Enjoy the ride ladies! You two are going places!

Is there any sweeter word? I’m the kind of writer who absolutely hates writing first drafts. I want every phrase to be pretty/shiny, and when writing a first draft the point is NOT to worry about them being perfect. I’m too much of a perfectionist to be able to write without agonizing over each word. I’ve tried blasting out drafts. They make me itch.

Somehow, I always manage to get to “The End” and then, for me, the real joy starts. Revisions are freeing. I can spend all day on one sentence and no one can stop me. *gleeful laugh*

So, this blog post is just to say, I’m in the middle of revisions.

*happy sigh*
