Round 2 of edits done!

I'm super excited to say that the second round of edits is complete! Now, let me go and re-read it again, and this time, I'm going to be adding some other things. I am super excited, people! Another thing I've done...my query letter! Yes! Your's truly has written a letter that she will hopefully submit to an agent, and see whether or not I'll get picked up. Yay! So wish me luck! Send me happy thoughts to complete and hopefully get this book out for people to enjoy. Again, super excited! Now...let's get this ear ache to stop. Night all!

Wow! This Just Got Real!

I would say what I really wanted to say, but I'm working REALLY hard on cutting back on the cursing. Got the little one now, and she is just repeating every-little-thing-mommy-says! And with such emphasis! Me: Kayla, did you have a good day today? Kayla: Have a good day today? Everything is in the form of a question, and it's in a higher pitch than her normal talking voice, which I refer to as her Toni Braxton voice. The girl is a tenor, I tell you! And then she's always singing. It's amazing what I discover with this child on a daily basis! Anyway, this isn't Kayla's blog, but you all know I can go on for hours about her. This is basically about the fact that I have really gotten into my whole editing kick, and I'm actually - wait for it - looking at literary agents! Yes! I'm researching agents. I need that assistance in finding help marketing my book. I would like to get info from people who have been out there and know what they are doing! I am finding a lot of useful information, and I really hope that the people I'm researching, and debating on using, are reputable. I haven't read anything negative on them, and they actually have a blog that gives out a lot of useful information. So like I said, this just go real, you guys! A dream no more, people...I'm going to make this happen! And that's about it on the Mel-Mel front. Hope you all have a great week!

And I'm still editing...

I know, I know...slacker! But at least I have been looking around at agencies and publication groups. I just feel like I'm surrounded by this Blah monster that's keeping me from moving forward. I think really my brain has been attacked, and I need some sort of motivational speech made for me to get moving and get to editing again. If anyone has a sure fire way to get me off of my lazy behind and get this book out, please do it! As you all recall, anger is my motivation, so please, feel free the tick me off in some way that eventually, I will forgive you! I don't like being mad for too long.

Thank you in advance, and now, back to the editing process...

Up with the Slowness!

I've been a slacker, people. The book, I still need to edit it. Hopefully tomorrow, if I can get mean baby to sit still long enough, I can sit down and go through some of these pages and get this thing done! I've looked at publishers, self publishing sites, and I think that's my issue: even after I'm done editing, who will publish this bad boy? Decisions, decisions...and why do I have the pleasure to make them? Oh, it's because it's MY BOOK! I think that's about all of the update I have for you all. Hope your weekend was productive. Mine was, but could have done without my knee going out on me. Wish me luck with finishing this book!

Editing...DONE! But...

So I got a call from my "editor", or, if you may, my friend Ketha. SHe has gone through, read it, and has given me some suggestions for some changes, and additions, to the book. I am super excited, you guys! I already know what I want to add, so I'm excited to see what she has for me. And of course, I've had to explain to her why I didn't add some things to the story...it's called "I don't want to explain the whole creation of the universe story to my readers!" So get ready, people...it's almost here!

I have been slacking!

Okay, so the book is finished, it's being reviewed, but I haven't been posting my progress. I need to check with my "editor" to see where she is in the editing process. Meanwhile, I've been working on the second book. May be I should work on one project at a time. That would be a great idea, if my brain wasn't trying to do 50 million things at once! I need to slow the brain down or else I've go into overload and never finish what I've started. I am a slow bunny, of course. So shoot me! Anyway, just wanted to let you all know that I have been working on the book. So let me contact this child and see what's she's been doing!
