A quick picture post to let you know I am alive. I am alive. I have been in my cave.
Here are pictures of cave life.
So, once I finished Max Black and handed it to my trusted 1st reader, I moved on to the Reality Boy page proofs for two days. Today, they go to the UPS office. |
And here's today's work. Back to Max Black. This time reading the printed MS and keeping the TOC handy to write notes. This is the final read before I send it away. Then, it's NAP TIME. |
And if you live ANYWHERE, you can tweet a review of Everybody Sees the Ants on Twitter with the tag #readbrave and be entered to win all of my books.

What can I say? What can I say? WRINKLES ARE TOTALLY COOL. Also: THE WORLD IS SO FULL OF SHIT. |
More on that in 2014.

Glad you're still alive, but you are a tease. We have to wait until 2015 for an explanation of what wrinkle cream has to do with Max Black?
AGGHH! Waiting for one of your books is so hard...
But I admire your TOC method and may try to adapt it, if I can understand how the heck you do it. I have messy pieces of paper all over my desk including a hand-drawn map of the area where the novel takes place, notes about timelines, brief synopses of scenes. I also have a Word doc with an outline of what happens each day, since this novel takes place in one week. And I'm still troubled by the timeline. You seem so organized.
The TOC method didn't start until book uh...maybe #9 or 10? Before then, I had a lot of papers all over my desk, too. I do recommend it. It really helps me place scenes and see how pacing works or doesn't work, etc.
