Status: Still trying to find balance this week
So I'm still buried this week with writing the new WIP and going through copyedits for FALL INTO YOU, so this list may be a little shorter than normal. Maybe one day I'll figure out how to balance working under deadlne and keeping up with everything else. But hopefully you'll find some links worth clicking.
On Writing/Publishing:
- Sara Megibow Sells Romance – The Girlfriend’s Guide to Being a Debut Author | Romance University - if you weren't at RWA and you missed the panel I did with Sara, you can check out the highlights here.
- 6 Ways to Pull off Dual Timelines in Your Novel via K.M. Weiland - I remember googling like hell trying to find this kind of info when I was writing a dual timeline for CRASH INTO YOU, but couldn't find much. So now here you go. Dual timelines can be a really tough thing to juggle, but I really enjoyed writing a story that had them. And these are good tips.
