Walking Tall

Tonight I watched Walking Tall with The Rock. :razz: Yummy Dwayne. The whole time I was watching him, I thought what a perfect Wulfric he would be from my novel Sapphire’s Worth. Now my Wulf has emerald green eyes, but other than that, Dwayne is physically perfect for the role.

I’ve been working on my edits and I noticed that if I separate the editing into sections, I do a better job. Why? Because I make every word count and I cut out extraneous details. I’m thinking I should try that more often. Think of when you enter a contest with a word or page count. You make sure your entry is tight. I’m thinking that approaching all editing in a similar fashion will make for a tighter and more pulled together story. Think it could work?

Also, November is National Novel Writing Month. Marguerite has started a purely fun and informal challenge on the message board in tandem with the formal challenge. If you’re interested, head on over to the message board. :grin:

    Hi, Lynn!!! And welcome! :grin: Congrats on the amazing number of pages completed!!! You should try the National Novel Writing Month challenge too. You don’t have to do the formal challenge, you can just try your hand at the informal challenge on the message board. With those kinds of numbers, you’re a shoo in for sure!!

    *raising hand high in the air as another author who loves to watch The Rock*

    I’m editing one ms and writing another, but since I just finished BIAW (42.5 pages — WOO HOO!) I’ll be taking a short break.

    Just wanted to say hi.
