A New Look and a New Post
My blog has been redesigned – the kind of activity I can enjoy now the WIP Novel is being left alone for a few days.
You should find it easier to navigate on a tablet or phone, and a lot less busy altogether.
New Features
- the menus on the top bar are now collapsible, much easier to find what you are looking for
- all blog posts are listed
- the category list and tag cloud have a limited range
This Redesign Was Not Just for Readers
While I’ve been busily writing my, I’ve been conscious of not writing blog posts. I have kept up with my book reviews and social media but Later Writer is still my baby so I will help it to grow as often as the time will allow – any ideas will be most welcome.
What Next?
Late last year I completed my first draft novel and paused for a few weeks while it rested. How did that go?
- the bit that was bugging me would fail any reader’s patience levels
- the so-called edit became a rewrite while prepping for the structural edit
- last week I FINISHED draft 2 and the story now works – IM(not so)HO
- “all” that’s left is to:
~ read through aloud for typos and glaring errors
~ complete all chapter plans on a spreadsheet I will then print and slice into chapters ready to shuffle the whole book
~ lose about 1500 words
~ allow my alpha reader full access to the printed manuscript to my husband so he can proofread the whole novel
~ send out my final draft to beta readers the first of which will be my sister and her ex-police husband
~ prep my submission package
~ pray
