Sunday the 17th

Hola!

As you guys know, I've been editing The Secret Vows for awhile now. So far my first-edit drafts are done! I've gone through and fixed spelling mistakes, grammar mistakes, and changed around some sentences and stuff in the plot. A couple friends that I go to school with also looked over it for me and helped edit.

I love them for doing that! I think I'd go crazy if it weren't for all their great advice!

Unfortunately, for me, the editing isn't done yet. :(

I'll be honest, editing isn't one of my favorite things to do. It can be really stressful looking back on work and trying to make everything perfect. But the outcome success is far better then then the stress of it all because of the well put together product.

So anyways, I've been going through the paperback proof copy and making marks and what not in it and then going back on my computer document and changing them. (The computer document is what is sent in to the publisher to be made into the book.) Right now I'm probably only six chapter into editing in the paperback, and I just started going through and changing the document version.

It's time consuming, and I've been procrastinating a little, but I am pushing myself to get it done. Like I said, the edits aren't fun but they are very important in a book. :)

So I guess it's good that my winter vacation is this week. Now I have time to go through and edit my book like it needs.

*Sigh.*

That's pretty much it for The Secret Vows. I'm hoping to extend the book length a good 20-30 pages after all the edits are done. But we'll see where that leads us once I'm done with the editing process. :)

I've also got some news about it that I'm not quite ready to share right now, but I am excited about it.

Let's save that for another post. ;)

Until next time guys,

Some Great New Reads!

       

 

So I've been investing a lot of time recently reading some great books that I found on Goodreads!

So I've decided to share some with you that I think are a must read! These books really captivated me and made me craving more! I'll give the title, author, cover, and summary and a link to Goodreads too! That's how excellent these books are!

Here we go!

(In no particular order.) 

The Secret Vows

It's hard to believe a week has flown by already!

I have been working on self-editing the second installment of The Fearless Series; The Secret Vows since the beginning of January, and right now a I have a few people in my school working on it as well. If it weren't for their help I might be going mad trying to seek out all the spelling and grammar mistakes in it. Thus for, spelling has been all right but grammar...well I'm no whiz.

So anyways, The Secret Vows is being edited as we speak!

Once more I have edited the design of this blog. I know, I know, I can never seem to make up my mind as to when I'm leaving it be. But I love this design, and I think we've got a winner. On the side bar you can see that I have a five-chapter preview of 'Til Death Do Us Part on Figment.com. (Figment.com is the website that helped me get published. It's a site I hold dearly to me.) So if you're interested in reading part of 'Til Death Do Us Part, you can!

Also, I have added a 'share it' tab so you can share this site on Facebook and Twitter if you have one! If you do share it, I'd be so appreciative! I'd love more followers for this site, so feel free to share away! I've also added my editors blog to the side bar; There For You Editing. She's been such a huge help not only editing 'Til Death Do Us Part but also advertising the book! So stop by her site and read away! She's such a great person!

Explore my blog a little more, I've moved the 'buy it' tab to it's very own page labeled 'buy' on the top! You can still buy it on this site, and you can still mark who you'd like me to sign it to. It's up to you, though. :)

That's it for this post!
