Belkher Chronicles Update

I am still working away on Papacita - and if you look to the right side of this blog, you will see a link to the blog specifically dedicated to the Belkher Chronicles.

February's Over - on to March

Ok, so I didn't get as far as I thought I would on the Belkher series - Watery Death et al - last month, but at least I've got the stories sorted out and worked a bit on adding to a couple of them.

So, now it's March, which means I'm back to editing Harken the Change. I've read through everything I typed up in January, and finally have some ideas on how to button up the storyline so I can finish writing/editing it and get it ready to publish!

Speaking of publishing, I am now Green Haired Lady Publications as well. I set this up so I can publish my works as I see fit and not wait for some "other" publishing house to take them on.

And On To February...

I finished breaking my first draft of Harken the Change into segments - ended up with 77 segments totalling 164 pages. Now I can take each segment and edit out all the unnecessary adverbs and such and ensure I'm using action and active voice - show not tell! Some of the stuff I saw as I was retyping this into segments made me flinch and squirm in my chair!

Also, I'm signed up for FebNaNo 2009 - I'm aiming for 28K words on a crime/mystery/police novel I've been chewing on since '05 - I found the related files yesterday. Wow, four years I've been working on that one! Working title is Watery Death.
