Where Quiet Dignity is on Indefinite Hiatus
The Fork
I have sent my story for the Midnight Scandals Anthology off to be edited! Also in the anthology, a couple of writers you might recognize: Courtney Milan and Sherry Thomas. Awesome is a weak description of their work.
And now, at last, I can start writing Harsh Marit’s story for the fifth book in the My Immortals Series.
The Fork
YAY!!!!!!!!!
Not Proper Enough has been emailed to my editor. How did it go, you ask? Well, just in the last three days:
1. I discovered I had written TWO getting married scenes.
2. I deleted about 10,000 words and four chapters. (including the extra married scene)
3. I wrote 9,000 new words.
4. I completely rewrote the middle of the book.
Other than that, things went fine.
The Fork
Yeah. Fork picture by yours truly.
Today I emailed My Dangerous Pleasure to my editor at Grand Central Publishing. Four (4) days early.
Thanks for asking.
Maybe in that order. Or maybe not.
My Dangerous Pleasure is essentially done. I now have a week for final tweaks. I’ll post the fork pic when I actually send off the MS.
Today– ok, technically yesterday given that it’s 12:37 AM –I deleted one chapter, then rewrote the last three and ended up plus 2000 words. And that despite procrastination.
In other news, I have heard some early feedback about My Immortal Assassin and it makes me very happy. No official reviews yet, but the twitter early warning system is in effect. The hopeless pathetic part of me is whispering that maybe my twitter follower ARC readers don’t want to hurt my feelings and that’s why they’re saying good things. Only, would not silence be the better solution rather than a big fat lie? Yes, Writers Neurosis is in full effect.
Anyway, if you ‘d like to find out for yourself, you can enter my ARC contest from the previous post. Also, just FYI, the bird in that picture is a female Oriole and the bottle it’s clinging to is full of sugar water, not plain water. Lastly, I can represent to you that about 10 years ago the Audubon Society itself confirmed that Jewel central was the Northernmost point confirmed for the North American Oriole. We have two kinds that show up here; The North American and the Hooded Oriole. I don’t know which that is because it’s female. The males are easy to distinguish.
Anyhow, off to bed for me. Tweaking revisions for a week, then the fork.

Yeah. The synopsis for Scandal is done, as in it now tells the story from start to finish. This doesn’t mean it’s polished but it’s done. Yay! I’m off to bed. The read through will have to wait until tomorrow since if I try to stay up late enough to read it all I won’t be fresh at all. And so, to bed.
