I am writing more and more about writing projects these days, but then that is my life at the moment.
During National Novel Writing Month, I didn't start anything new but I am making an effort to finish two books I original wrote as rough drafts during NaNoWriMos in previous years.
I got The Glen Valley Compact proof copy today. It is full of errors, most of them small, a couple of big ones. I expected that. The question is, can I repair them without ordering a second proof copy?
If I can finish the job by Monday, I'll order a dozen books and start getting them out to venues.
I do like the cover.
I'm in the middle of the third re-write of Chapter 4 (of 16) of Going Down from Gairloch. This is going much better than I expected though I know that there are some problems toward the end of the book. Again, I want this done by the end of November.
I'm waiting for the author's copies of Black Coffee Fiction, Volume 2: Now With 33% More Caffeine. I expect them by Monday at the latest. These, too, have to go to various venues.
As soon as all of the paperbacks are in place I have to get The Glen Valley Compact, Going Down from Gairloch, and Decades of Love and Other Disasters and perhaps Seriously Depressing Christmas Stories into e-mail format. I want to do these all at once so I don't have to re-learn the tricks over and over. Once I get the format for one down, the other three should follow quickly.

Meanwhile at our Black Coffee Fiction blog, Bettyann Moore has published her latest Porpoise McAllister story.....

and Wade Peterson is also using NaNoWriMo to write revisions for his novel. He describes it in his own blog, It's a Long Way to the Top.

So we scriveners are busy scribbling.
