I spent most of today cooking, sleeping and posting on Once Upon A Crime.  I planned to spend my last few hours brainstorming my next book (a YA about six kids spending the night in an abandoned building and learning some terrible secrets), but I figured I take a look at my WIP and see how much work it needed.

When I write, I use WriteWayPro.  It’s a writer’s software that I absolutely love.  One of its many great aspects is no red or green squiggly lines.  It’s great for ignoring your internal editor.  So, while the revisions are done, there’s still the spelling, grammar and punctuation that needs to be checked.

At this stage, I’m just zipping through the pages looking for obvious mistakes.  Once I get it back from any beta readers, I’ll go through it one more time with a much closer look to detail.  So, I just completed 210 pages.  Only 164 for tomorrow.  There goes my braintorming for the evening, but it’s for a good cause.

I just finished 30 pages of revisions today, plus the 8 from Thursday, which brings to 38 so far.  Only 300+ to go. :P  I’m impressed with what I accomplished today though.  I also blogged at Once Upon A Crime about plotting and plan to do a weekly post to possibly give ideas to others who struggle in that process.

Nothing else really happened today, other than the overload of candy my kids are consuming and the dirty house that’s screaming at me to clean it.  That’s on tomorrow agenda.

The suspense divas and I are working toward starting a suspense group where we blog, support and help one another.  It’s still in the beginning stages.  We are about to put together a site/look, but I’m seriously looking forward to it all.
