A Month in the Writer’s Life ~ September 2006

September I was happily enjoying my break when bam I was taken from it. This darn muse would not leave me alone. LOL. Now you know I couldn’t keep away from writing. It is too much in my blood. I had to go and do some little bit of writing here then there and before I knew it I was back to writing everyday. Shoot I don’t have the concept of taking a break down.

So since my mind was still working out the kinks of how to execute the edits for Conquering Jazz I decided to work on something fresh. I did and the results were phenomenal and it also helped me figure out what I want to do with Conquering Jazz. Yippeee!!!

The ROM Insights~ August/ September 2006 issue is available on the site and yahoo group. There are many announcements in it. I will be posting the info in the next blog entry about it. Check it out here.

A Month in the Writer’s Life ~ August 2006

August is my birthday. Whaoo Hooo!!!! I love my b-day. I’m planning to have fun and relax. I’m taking off from my writing from my b-day in August until mid September to rest and rejuvenate. I need to recover from my family visiting and the day job.

Before I started my rest I did my read through of Conquering Jazz. When I went back to do the edits I was stuck on how to work in what my agent suggested. I’m still stumped. No it’s not writer’s block. I can thankfully say I don’t usually have that problem. I’m stumped on the best way to execute the suggestions. This rest will hopefully help me also.

The ROM Insights~ July 2006 issue is available on the site and yahoo group. The August issue will be a joined with September. I will be posting it in early Sept.

A Month in the Writer’s Life ~ July 2006

July has been hectic. I have family visiting and am distracted from my writing. Still covering for many other co-worker’s.

I’ve put aside Turning the Tables, the next Hamlin family & friends at least temporarily. I’m working Conquering Jazz. I had a discussion with my agent and she made some edit suggestions. I edit on paper. First I plan to do a read through from beginning to end without any stops for edits. Then I plan to do another read through and edit as I go. Then I will do another read through to see what the changes look like and do some more edits if necessary. Then I will go on the computer and do the edits then print it out again and read through again. That’s a lot of reading through. Thank god I love the characters. LOL. I’ll let you know how things are going.

A Month in the Writer’s Life ~ June 2006

June had a lot happening so I didn’t get much writing done. I went out of town and when I came back it was the summer vacation in my day job. So I was covering for many other co-worker’s.

Work on Turning the Tables, the next Hamlin family & friends novel has slowed down to a crawl. I plan to pick back up speed on this hopefully in September. I’m still writing but slower that I usually do.

A Month in the Writer’s Life ~ May 2006

May brought a lot of happenings. I was on a rollercoaster ride of writing and being under the weather.

I’m still working on Turning the Tables, the next Hamlin family & friends novel. The characters Jermaine Hamlin and Rhonda Carrington are very intense and volatile. There history is complex. I’ve been doing more plotting on various writing projects that I have.

Working on Johannes. I am still having problems with hating to see Johannes end. I don’t want it to end. LOL. The other characters are screaming at me for there turn but I still keep finding things to do on Johannes. Since Johannes is the first in the series I want to capture as much of the world I am creating as I can. So many discoveries. There is a blurb and excerpt on the Kaitlyn St. James site for Johannes.

The next issue of the St. James Chronicle my bi-monthly newsletter will be posted soon. Until the next issue us out you can check out the St. James Chronicle ~ March /April 2006 issue here.

A Month in the Writer’s Life ~ April 2006

I meant to post this earlier….

April was a strange month. I caught up, got behind then had to play catching up again, and so on…..

I am still working on exploring Turning the Tables, the next Hamlin family & friends novel. Jermaine Hamlin and Rhonda Carrington has a diverse, intense, and sometimes voliatle history that takes even me by surprise. So many layers. So much wants, needs and expectations. I’ve also been working on various writing projects that I have. Plotting, character sketches and such.

Kaitlyn St. James Happening’s ~ April 2006

I’m still hard at work on Johannes. Do you ever have a book that you hate to see end? That’s my problem with Johannes I don’t want it to end. LOL. Although the other characters are screaming at me for there turn I want to keep working on Johannes. Yes I know eventually I’ll reach a point when the book will be done but for now I can appreciate all the nuances that are coming out in the society and world around my Guardians. So many discoveries. There is a blurb and excerpt on the Kaitlyn St. James site for Johannes.

The next issue of the St. James Chronicle my bi-monthly newsletter will be posted soon. I’m planning for sometime in June around the 15th of the month or so. Until the next issue us out you can check out the St. James Chronicle ~ March /April 2006 issue here.
