hehe I know this. You giving her an advance copy of NR is as likely to happen as you becoming a "50 Shades" fan....

Exactly!

I do have two other people that I would trust with it, and she is NOT one of them... One is Hubby's cousin out west and the other has been one of my best friends since I was 16 years old.. I met her at my very first job, worked with her for almost two years until I was almost 18, and she worked with Hubby at his current work place on and off for YEARS... So yeah, I trust both of them with my life, and NR IS a big part of my life... LOL Cheesy

It's sad to say but I do NOT trust my sister with my writing whatsoever........ But it's the truth.

I'm starting to wonder if NR's final edit got the writing ideas flowing again... There are a few things from that story that DO need to be tied up so to speak and maybe just maybe I'll finish TWO good books in this lifetime... I don't want to be a one book wonder after all.... Wink

Could be. I'm assuming that Book 4 will start coming to me once Book 3 is off my plate and "live" on Amazon.

I finished up Chapter 3 and decided to give my eyes a break and put off working on Chapter 4 tomorrow. I'm going to try to get 4 and 5 done tomorrow if I can. The sooner this final edit/tweak is done, the sooner I can print it out and REALLY proofread it.

Morning. I'm here for a bit but we have parent teacher meetings this afternoon so I'll be offline doing that, and we'll be visiting my mother in law after we're finished doing that. Cheesy My mother and brother in law will be getting a copy of NR's final draft to enjoy and I'll be telling Momma where it's going first. Wink She and BIL will be two of the VERY few people knowing when and where it goes out... Hehehehehe...

By the way, if there are any writers out there that are currently STUCK in the writing, BRAINSTORM... It helps, especially if you're doing it with someone who knows the characters almost as well as you do! Wink

Time to get caught up. Cheesy

I'm rereading what I have so far for Untitled 8... I would really like to get as absorbed into this one that I was with its predecessor... Hehehehee.... Cheesy

Back. I'm now getting something to eat quickly while the hair dries... And jotting down a few more ideas for Untitled 8... Something came to me while I was in the shower and I want to get it down before I lose it! Cheesy

The more I sit here and think, the less I think "redemption" for a certain character in Untitled 8 is warranted... Chucking those ideas and putting a few new ones in instead... hehehehehehe....

The little guy is home and we're leaving for the parent teacher (student led) conference in about an hour or so. Son had all A's, Bs and C's on his report card... A few more C's than I would have liked to see but at least there were NO D's or F's....

We're leaving in a few so I'm out of here for now. I'll be back if I'm not too tired and it's not too late by the time we get home. See y'all later! Cheesy

Afternoon. I'm late but I'm here.
I didn't sleep well last night so Skywise let me sleep in for a bit this morning. Now I will get caught up.

And VE, I agree with you about that particular character. "Redemption" for that person isn't warranted in my opinion given what you've told me. Ending up bankrupt and on the street sounds about right.

Iz happy. Three books that have been buried in the "haystack" that is Package Services at the post office all showed up today. Two of them were late in that they didn't make their delivery goal but at least they are here.

We're back! I'm worn out but it was worth getting out of the house for a bit, even if my brain was in "Untitled 8 mode".... Cheesy

I told my mother in law which publisher will be getting NR first and the waiting period, and that her youngest son will be one of the few (the group includes our very own Penth, Tabby and Ravens Tears) that will know when it goes out, to whom and the date I get the rejection letter... Tongue

Penth, yeah, that character won't deserve it at all... The more I think about things, the less I think they deserved redemption for what they did... Which will NOT be announced publicly because it'll give away part of NR's storyline AND a chunk of what Untitled 8 is about... Tongue

I think an early bedtime may be in order for me tonight, I'm TIRED!!

I hear you about the early bedtime. If Skywise would be home before midnight, I'd be thinking about hitting the sheets early too!

Definitely! Cheesy My favorite Canadian show never gets old no matter how many times I watch it, and I watch reruns of it whenever I can. CSI is another one I can watch over and over and over and NEVER get sick of it.

That reminds me, I haven't watched my favorite CSI episode in a while, the Season 5 closer that Quentin Terintino directed.. Terrifying as heck but the best episode EVER in my opinion! Cheesy

Nite, hon.

Chapter 4 is done and I'm quitting for the night. I typed some new material but lost it when I hit the wrong button. What I've replaced it with isn't as good but maybe I can improve it tomorrow.

Morning... I'm here for a bit then offline WRITING... Cover letters are at the top of the list then I'll be diving into Untitled 8 again... I have part of a scene gelling in the brain so I want that DONE before Son gets home from school if I can do it.

It's the last day before March/spring break here so if I want to get any writing done it has to be TODAY.

I need more COFFEE... Ten gallons of it please! Cheesy
