Changes
I'm going to a different format soon. I've decided to customize WordPress and just maintain a blog on my main page, with a couple of other pages for links, my bio, that sort of thing. Then again, I might change my mind. I've been known to do that.

I received two requests from Conference for Otherworld, but the reactions of the agent and editor were what I find even more encouraging. They both said it sounded different. Apparently not so different they didn't want a look at it. So, here I go.

Making the chapters shine has been an experience for me. Each time I write something I learn something about my own process. Even as I watch what I do, I find the process is still evolving, a constant becoming. I see so many people with recommendations of how to work this way of plotting, or work that way of revising, and do this to get realistic characters--and it makes me wonder if I have any tricks I could discover for myself. Not that they'd be original, I'm pretty certain anything that I will do has been done before in the process sense. As I come down the line to the revision of Otherworld, hoping to put it to bed soon and go on to Midnight At The Mystic Cafe, I'm wondering if maybe I need a box of tricks, because each novel I've written so far has its own persona and way of coming into being. I'll keep everyone posted as to what I'm doing and how I'm doing it.

Have a day full of lovefurypassionenergy,
