The Waiting...

...is the hardest part. Well, at least according to Tom Petty.

I'll get a return of edits just one more time - hopefully later today - from my editor, which I will scrub up, then after she looks at it again, it's off to the upper 'powers that be.'

This is all so strange - it's just a little story I 'made up,' and now it's actually getting published! That's pretty darn amazing. Once it's 'for sale,' I can cross that item off my Bucket List. (Did I mention you don't need to be a Kindle or Nook user to get the book - it also downloads as a pdf, and did I mention affordable! Only $2.99!)

Again, don't forget, RESPITE releases at Decadent Publishing Oct. 25th!

Teeter-tottering

Is that even a word?

Well, the actual last words have been entered into the laptop, which means for the moment, RESPITE is done. Well, at least for the time being. I'm waiting for input from my editor, which will mean tweaking, but that's okay...makes it a better story.

So, I'm UP on the teeter-totter: it's done, it's ready, it needs to be tweaked, polished, spit-shined. It's good...(coming down)...well, it's okay...is it my best, not sure at this moment.

So, I'm DOWN...it sucks and every reviewer in the world will tell me so. Tough skin - yeah, I got it, but those comments always find a crack in one's armor, don't they?

I have written all my life, but the turning point was standing in line at Kroger, perusing the novels - 'I can write this crap,' I said to myself. Now, I'm hoping no one says that about me!

There are plenty of more stories in this Gateway computer, and 100 fold more than that in my head---ONE of them has to be good, right?

I know...whatever, Wendy. (and you're saying SHUT UP! as well!)

(really, I'm okay...sometimes we all doubt ourselves!)

'Follow' Romance Books R Us and you'll be entered to win a copy of RESPITE from Decadent Publishing and me when it's released.

WHOO...scarey...

And, if it's any of anyone's business, the new Russell Crowe movie The Next Three Days is out NEXT MONTH!  (Yeah I'm all a-giggle already.)

I know - Whatever, Wendy!

The 'End,' 'Finis,' 'Done'...

Why is the 'end' the hardest part of the darn book to write?  I'm in the process of rewriting the last two chapters of RESPITE to A) make them BETTER (duh!), B) make the ending not basically 'fall off the end of the earth, ie, not let the reader down, and C) get a good 'ole pat on the head from my editor.

So - why is this so difficult? Don't know. But I suppose I could get the ending going in the right direction with a sex scene...yeah, that's the ticket!

Whatever...
