More on writing. Sort of.

I knew when I made the decision to write two separate series (the Gallagher Girls and the new series, Heist. Or Kat. Or whatever I end up calling it) that there would be challenges.

I thought the hard part would be leaving one world and entering another. Or changing between Cammie's first person voice and Kat's third person narrator.

Nope. Turns out those things are easy.

What's killing me is going from doing a polish draft on one book and a rough draft of another. Turns out, once my internal editor wakes up she is REALLY hard to shut up!

Well, gotta get back to it!

Darn internal editor. Why don't those things come with an off switch?

Well, it sounds like you are going to be busy, so I wish you the best of luck. You can do it! :)

internal editors are like...evil incarnate. all you have to do is bind and gag them...but the hard part is catching them long enough to do so...

Good Luck!

you made a good improvement from yesterday to today, on the word count. Yay You!

enjoy you're new kitchen and work with your editors, internal or otherwise, they always seem to help, even when you don't want them.

Happy Forth Of July!!!

Your internal editor is having trouble letting go. I kind of feel bad for her. Him...it. Good luck shutting it up in a dark corner of your mind.
Looks like you're really working hard on Kat. Can't wait for Heist to come out.

Happy Almost Independence Day,
Nadia
