Writerly Ways

[cornerofmadness]

I have no advice this week. All I can say is 5 weeks out of the last 8 being spent editing is too much. I feel like I've been emotionally scraped with a cheese grater. I'm not talking about evil_little_dog or tinhutlady who haven't said my writing was lazy, or talked down to me which I can not say for some of the professional editors. I'm still puzzling out why this story is in a third content edit and I better get back to it.

I will also say Modified and Sacred (shitty title I know) is off to the publisher for consideration. Thanks to tinhutlady who helped make it a much better story.

And what you're really here for :-) The links.

I haven't been really writing, just editing so no need to do much updating here.
