This post is part of Lexa Cain's bloghop, Celebrate the Small Things (Lexa has just taken it over from VikLit who has hosted it for the last 2 years). Head on over there to join up!
So, what am I celebrating this week?
I'm 2 chapters away from finishing my revision. Okay, so I need to go back and tweak a few things, but the bulk of it is over. I intend to be done by the end of the weekend. Then next week will be a break because I have a ton of work things on. I'll go back and do one final read through after that week's break, then it's off to my agent.
Once STUMPED is in the mail (so to speak) it will finally be time to revise my NaNo book. It feels like so long since I wrote it. I hope that means I'll have a tone of perspective on how crappy it is.
I'm looking forward to the weekend because next week is going to be nuts and I'll barely be home to see the kids. So this weekend is all about them. Don't say anything, but I'm going to take them to my friend's circus show tomorrow. They know nothing about it, so it;s going to be fun!
What are you celebrating this week?
Making lots of progress in the writing is a celebration. Enjoy the circus with the kids. That should be fun.
ReplyDeleteI hope you and the kids have a great time at the circus! Congrats on getting so much done on Stumped so quickly. BTW I really like the new "About Me" section with Marketing Executive and repped by. So cool!
ReplyDeleteThe kids will have a blast -- and therefore so shall you! Sunshine is promised here, so I'm already looking forward to it. Enjoy your weekend! :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on getting so far in your revisions! That has to feel good. Good luck with your NaNo book. The circus sounds like a ton of fun. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteYay! I've been hoping you'd succeed with Stumped, and that it wouldn't 'stump' you. (smile) Have great fun at the circus - the child in me is envious!
ReplyDeleteI love revisions! Have fun with your NaNo project and thanks for the Blitz Day visit.
ReplyDeleteHave fun at the circus, and good luck with your revisions!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on approaching the end :). Sounds like you have a fun weekend planned. Have a good time!
ReplyDeleteHave fun at the circus! Good luck with your last couple of chapters of revision :)
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you have accomplished a lot and you really know what you need to do. A plan is always good. I love when I've been away from a draft for so long that when I read it , I find gems that I don't even remember writing . Hopefully you will discover those gems in your NaNo draft.
ReplyDeleteI wasn't aware of your bloghop, but I am celebrating my mom learning to walk again after a broken hip and near death. It really makes me understand that the minor and pettty issues in my life are just that - and not worth my time.
Good luck with your final edit and also with your NaNo revisions.
It .means so much to a child to feel special, valued. I was fortunate to have parents who knew that. Your children are lucky, too. I bet the NaNo is better than you remember. All the best - Diana
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on being so close to finishing your revisions! So excited for you. Good luck finishing up! :)

ReplyDeleteGood luck getting the manny in the mail and the book to print.
