How Writing Feels

The face you give yourself when you write something really, really badass.

I've caught the CRAZIES!

Today I'm over at Chasing the Crazies, talking SNOW LIKE ASHES, publishing, and what it was like leaving my first agent. Come say hi!

How Writing Feels

When someone points out a huge plot error you made that makes most of your book null & void.

How Writing Feels

When a book sells that sounds identical to one you tried to sell a few years ago only this one sold in a six-figure pre-empt and yours...didn't. At all.



The Hiddles makes everything better.

How Writing Feels

When you read about someone's fourth book sale this year and think if book writing were pole dancing, they'd be this person.



And you'd be this person.

Suddenly, Chocolate. Everywhere. THOUSANDS OF THEM.

I knew my time was coming, but I didn't expect it would come so QUICKLY, ya know? I barely got a moment to grasp the hugeness of what was happening and then BOOM. It's here. I'm having trouble coping.

Why am I having trouble coping? Today is my first Cupid's Arrow over on the Valentine's blog. Go, watch, laugh at my expense. But know that I did this for you. I DID THIS FOR ALL OF YOU.

*dramatic sigh*

How Writing Feels

When your agent/editor asks you to redo a really big section of your book.
