surviving the winter
Well, I have survived Christmas and New Years. My in laws, about 22 of them came for a Christmas Eve meal, and our Christmas was nice and quiet.
But just as I am ready to settle down to a quiet winter routine, my editor calls. She needs some changes to the first chapter of Desperate Rescue.
Immediate panic mode! Revisions? I hate 'em! I can never think of a good work when I want to, but thankfullly, I have a great critique group and they can think of anything! (You should see their stories. Wicked, wicked bunch!)
So, panicking aside, I settled down to write. My hubby was watching CSI on TV, and I was keepggn half an ear out to that in case it could help me.
Did you ever notice that the CSI characters all have these double entendre words, bad puns and hanging hook sentences at the end of a scene. Horatio Caine and Gil Grissom are the worst, I think. I love the show, but it needs a injection of some new writing. They should hire me!
My friend then, after the panic told me Gil was leaving CSI. To tell you the truth I like Catherine Willows. She reflects me the most, I think. And I like Jim Brass. I know a man who looks like him, so it's kind of cool.
Enough of that. I slept poorly last night and got up this morning, tweaked my revisions, corrected all the mistakes I missed and sent my revision off. With a prayer.
Maybe later, I'll tell you all the really cool thing that happened to us last week. If you give to the Lord, he'll bless you back. We have mega proof!
Til then, here's my link of the week. Or month, or whatever. If you're into doing web design or different papers, here's something for your backgrounds
