You may have noticed the blog’s been on hiatus for awhile. Finishing up Soul Cavern and the other requisites for graduating from SHU pretty well kicked my tail! Add to it that we bought a house at the end of April and moved in around mid-May. But, I’m happy to say, I’m back in the saddle!

I love the play on words of the title! I heard from my first mentor for SHU, Leslie, who is my second reader for my thesis (don’t ask, the first mentor/second reader, second mentor/first reader thing is confusing). She passed my manuscript! So that’s one down and one to go!

So recently I found out that Neil Gaiman is going to be at the Clarion Workshop this year! I’m a wee bit of a fangirl, so I was really excited to hear about this!

Revision Hell - Or - Hangups of a Fiction Writer

When I came to the point in the story where I was supposed to write about my main character and her father hopping a plane to Europe to save her best friend from fiendish kidnappers, my muse decided to vacation for awhile. Maybe in Tahiti, maybe Barbados, maybe skiing in the Alps.
I couldn’t write it. Not one word. I was so frustrated with the writing process that, after weeks of wrestling, I decided to scrap my novel and start on a different project. I’d already written over 50,000 words. And I was going to dump it.
