Finally! A little time to write!

I put a picture of Carl Edwards doing a back flip because I feel like doing one. I finally got two whole hours to sit down and write in (almost) perfect silence. Yayyyyy! I got 2000 words banged out. "Cold Vengeance" has become a completely different ms. In the first one, I didn't introduce the villian until almost the last moment. I maintained his anonymity throughout. Now, I've revealed him on p. 103! I had secondary characters in the first one that sparred and hated each other. Now, I've reduced that hostility a little. I've added two secondary characters that I wasn't going to introduce until book 2! LOL. It's crazy. So, I have six characters meeting and running around. It works pretty well. My scenes are shorter and more emotional. I think it's a lot better than the last one. I'm at 29 K heading for the finish of 70K.

I corrected some of the stuff the Crabby Cows pointed out in "Rough Seas". I've gotten some great work done. I submitted more to the Crabby Cows since I'm a total glutton for punishment. I like having fresh eyes look at my stuff.

Life here isn't getting any less crazy, but I've accepted the insanity as part of my world. *Sigh*. I feel a lot better about everything today. Nothing like a couple of hours to work on that book to give me a better attitude!

Anyone else ever start "fixing" a ms and find a totally different story emerging? I'll bet this is going to make editing a total pain in the butt. BTW, thanks to everyone who comments on my blog. I don't always reply, but I read them and it lifts me up. You guys are awesome.
