Writerly Ways

[cornerofmadness]

Honestly I'm so up to my eye balls in start of the semester crap, revising Blood Red Roulette and cleaning up after a leak in the kitchen, I don't have much to say here or time to say it in so I'm going to share the jillion cool links Betty sent this week.

I will say this, as my advice for the week. DO NOT let too much time pass between chapters if you're editing a novel so you can get it out there because it'll lead to confusion, you rereading chapters twice then thinking it's repetitive because you're sure you've seen it before and otherwise will bugger you up good. This has been my mistake with BRR.

Speaking of which I DO have thank yous to many of you and you can read all about it here.
