I’m pulling some writing-related things together for the end of the year.  My writing plate is overflowing now.  This is largely a good thing — several projects are gaining momentum.

I just finished the revision of Polar Bear on the Loose. It’s out with beta readers now. While I would dearly love to say Inuit (pronounced Eye-Knew-It, by the way) could be on your e-readers very soon, the truth is the word I’m hearing back from my wonderful, adventurous beta readers is she’s not ready for prime time yet. I have one and a half to hear from, and those are going to be even more helpful replies than the two and a half I’ve heard from already.  Once I hear back from the last one, I’ll evaluate their recommendations and come up with a plan.  I used Holly Lisle’s “How to Revise Your Novel” for this first round of revisions. I plan to use Holly Lisle’s “7 Day Crash Revision” course for this next iteration. It will take me more than 7 days, because I’m just that slow, but it better not take another six years!

Twilight, which will have to be renamed, is up next on the revision block. I’m preparing to work through “How to Revise Your Novel” again with this.  The process worked for me. I plan to finish in 22 months in this iteration. I may have to adjust for reality, but that’s my goal.

I’m also working on compiling some blog posts into a couple of ebooks.  Some for gifts to subscribers and one for sale.

That’s what’s on my mind on this Christmas Eve 2014.
