Update on Wot I've Been Doing

I've been a bit of a bad blogger latetly. Here's why.

1. Am in the the middle of second pass edits for my first Entangled book. For those who are curious, the first pass addressed major things like changing around some scenes, putting in a couple of extra scenes ( I had to rewrite a chapter), amp up the black moment etc. But second pass edits get down to the nitty gritty such as deleting repeated words and unnecessary description, being told to twist cliches (I'm being told to 'make it funny' a lot. So I'm sitting there going 'okay, make it funny. Make it funny'. Is NOT easy!), rewrite paragraphs, clarify phrasing etc. It's fiddly. And it has to be done by...tomorrow. Argh!

2. Have sent away my fourth Samhain proposal - a linked book to my Dirty Virgin Hero - and am angsting about it. Oh yeah, the angst never stops over here.

3. Have been working on a Single Title series idea (yes, I finally have one!) that the agent really liked (YAY) and will probably start to be shopped around at some stage. EEEEEK!!!!

4. Have feedback on the partial of my third Entangled book and need now to finish it by April. This will involve rewriting chapter 1.

5. SCHOOL HOLIDAYS! (need I say more? No, I don't think so)

6. Cover art and blurb forms came for my Chessman (Black Knight, White Queen).

7. I also confess to spending quite a bit of time fantasising about going to RWA in Atlanta this year, looking up flighs and staring disconsolantly at my Visa statements...

So there you have it. And all of that adds up to - BUSY!

And then I have Finn releasing in A MONTH!!! And  at the same time I'll receive first pass edits for my second Entangled release, plus edits for the Chessman which has to be done by March.

Oh yes, and I'm in the process of updating my website and moving my blog (I'll post when that happens) so I can be all professional and such.

What about you? What has everyone else been up to?
