Wednesday's Writing Update: Yeah, More Edits

Happy Wednesday!

I reviewed A to Z Stories of Life and Death by D. Biswas today on Surrounded by Books Reviews. There will be an interview on that blog with her on Friday.

As for writing news, it's more editing news instead of writing. I'm plodding along in the second edit of The Phoenix Prophetess. I love that novel, but sometimes it's slow going. I never realized trying to take writing two years old and make it up to my standards today takes a LONG time. I'll get it done, though.

The bad thing about getting edits done is that I have little time to write. I miss writing. I love creating new worlds, new stories. I miss that. At least I have NaNoWriMo coming up in November. I can't wait to write my first YA Contemporary novel, Starred.

Besides editing, I'm reading books to review and working on a few other things here and there. I sometimes really wish I had a time turner. I'd get so much more done then.

So what's new with you?

Do you like the creative end of writing or editing more?

Teaser Tuesday 9.20.11

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:

1. Grab your current read

2. Open to a random page

3. Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page

    BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)

4. Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

It brought everything closer to the illusion of nature, which is a wild, uncontrolled thing, an illusion she had tried to create with rocks, moss, driftwood, soil, plants, fish, shrimp. Now she had snails!
