Okay, guys. I did it. I printed out my unedited manuscript for a read-through/first-pass edit. This is just to catch all the glaring errors, whether they're grammatical, plot or whatever. I'll be taking notes while I'm reading to patch up any major plot holes and to smooth out whatever rough edges I run across.

I'm going to be honest here, I'm a little terrified of this part of the writing process. It's overwhelming and mind-boggling and I've never done something for a project of this size. The fear ratcheted up about 300% after I took a good, long look at this ...

Holy smokes. That's a lot of paper. I'm skimming through it in a really haphazard way and I don't remember writing some of it. I was possessed or something. Oh, well, as long as the writing's good who am I to complain?

Anyway. Bookish stuff.
30 days of books... Day 17 - Anthologies are my Kryptonite.
Waiting on Wednesday - The Iron Duke - Steampunk is my genre of choice this week. Zombies are always a plus.

I'm still reading Dreadnought and I'm so in love with it it's ridiculous. Don't you love it when a book just sucks you in and pummels you with delicious words? I do.

So there you have it.
Later.
