- Bushwhacking, Booze, and Nothing to Lose September 2, 2010Song of the day: Nothing to Lose by Operator Okay, tell me the truth. Do you ever have a moment where you just stop and wonder why it is that you write? Why do you subject yourself to torturous, lonely hours of work, real work, on a book where often there seems so little reward? [...] […]jbrayweber
- A Behind the Scenes Look at the Bustle September 2, 2010Okay, so it’s a horrible pun. But really, if you’re looking at the historical development over time of the bustle, could you resist? The fact remains that one of the classic elements of refined lady steampunk wear is the bustle. But what people seem to forget is that the bustle wasn’t always part of Victorian [...] […]bluemooncomm
M-C on the go: All done… For now!
Well here I am. Way too tired to fire up the laptop.
So I’m trying to blog directly from my iPhone.
But they are done, first revisions of Ancient Whispers are now out to my editor.
In a way, they were not easy. Partly because this was my first manuscript and I know there was so much that was wrong with it. I notice how different the earlier writing appears to me now. Not really bad, but not me somehow.
And the comments were made by one editor but because of a change in staff at Dorchester, the manuscript will now be edited by the senior editor. So maybe another reason to make me feel even more nervous.
But it’s done. Of course I don’t think it’s perfect but at this point, I don’t know what else to do. Cut a good 15,000 words and added about 9,000 words to the original version.
Time to relax for a micro second and think about the sequel!
