Updates on the process of HOLLY LANE
Great things are happening in the months of November and December, and I'm beyond happy, and excited for it all to take shape so I can see the finished product.
First up:
On November 4th, I signed myself up for the NaNoWriMo challenge. Which translates to: National November Writing Month, for authors. The goal is to complete a 50k book in one month's time.
Though, just to say, Holly Lane will be well over 50k.
The real reason I decided that I should enter this challenge was based on how crazy busy my life had gotten. I needed an extra push to finish the last little bit of Holly Lane. With an extremely busy personal life, it's left me with little time to write as my deadline for the editor draws near.
Now, this is my first experience with NaNoWriMo, but I think it's been a great challenge for me so far. I love that they have forums to chat with other authors and they have pep talks, as well. Of course there are other things about this group too, that I won't bore you with the details of. But, I do love that when I sign in, they have what I call a "rooting for you" reminder that you can climb that hill and make it. Of course these are reminders for other things as well.
Anyway, I'm glad my fellow author friend, Mari Lincoln, passed the NaNoWriMo info in my direction.
On to some exciting news, or so I like to think, anyway.
Holly Lane hits the editor on November 16th for the second half of edits, and then it's off to the copyright office.
Shortly after all of that, when December 10th rolls around, Holly Lane will be off to the formatter.
Final product date for release:
My hope is to have Holly Lane out by December 20th.

Biting nails..let's count the ways
First reason to bite my nails:
The first part of Holly Lane went to my editor two days ago. I have to admit, I was freaking out a little bit. I had to pause for a moment, as my mouse hoovered over the send button, before I let my finger click it. I felt like I was sending my first born child off to school for the very first time. It was scary but very exciting at the same time.
Second reason to bite my nails:
My editor is super quick and always early, which is a great thing, but not when I decided to add new things. I felt so bad I wasn't ready to give up the full manuscript. At least I was able to give her a portion of it and as of last night, she was just about done with that portion. See? Quick. <--- reason to bite nails... she's fast on the draw.
Third reason to bite my nails:
Now I'm over here chomping at the bit, working hard at finishing to reach my deadline. All of this without compromising the story line.
