Head Down, Editing On

[blairmacg]

When I'm doing the final edits on a project, I cannot deal with interruptions.  These aren't content edits, but the nitpicky ones.  The moment something else snags my attention, it's all over.

My intended go-date for Sword and Chant is August 31, so I should probably lock myself in a closet about now.

In the meantime--








I am so looking forward to having Sword and Chant up, and to adding additional titles over the coming year.  I've set my goals, worked out a schedule, and girded my loins (the latter of which, alas, does nothing more than make my ass look even bigger).



The notion and potential of self-publishing is what rekindled my interest in writing.  Viable Paradise bolstered my confidence and clarified my goals.  Now, finally, I'm within days of putting those two pieces together.

:-) You sure know how to make a writer smile.

I love that cover, though I wish there was a noun after 'conquering'

[blairmacg.livejournal.com]

I thought about it, but there are so many conquerings that will happen, and so many conquerers doing the conquering... I couldn't pick just one! :-)

[sartorias.livejournal.com]

Maybe an s?

[blairmacg.livejournal.com]

Oooh, that could work!!!

[sartorias.livejournal.com]

The Conquerings . . . that sounds deliberate, rather than like a word is missing.

You and me both -- I'm publishing in November. See you on Amazon! :)

And Nook, and Kobo, and Smashwords... :)

And I'm really looking forward to seeing your cover art!

Squeeeee!

Fine, that's not very articulate. How about, "I can't wait to buy it so my husband can read it."
