I officially decided my Nanowrimo is over. I hit my word goal (53k) and have a good first draft of one novella and two-thirds-ish of a second one. I tried to write a bit more of Only You these last few days, but I am BURNT OUT. And when I'm burnt out, I don't write well.
Today, I started doing a final edit of And Then It Was You. I'm planning to release it in mid-March, but I want to have every book in this series ready to go before I release the first one. After I do my final edit, I'll have my editors (who, to be honest, are two of my friends from college who are also writers) go over it for me, to make sure I didn't miss any plot holes, grammar mistakes, or any other inconsistencies. I think I'll be done editing it by December first. Then, I'll do my final edit of Dance for You, the second book in the Falling for You series. After that, the real work will begin. I will have taken some serious time away from writing, and with fresh eyes, I'll work on the second draft of Waiting for You, which I know will have significant rewrites. Once I finish that draft, I'll finish writing Only You, then do another draft of Waiting for You, and so on. So that was a very long description of what I am hoping to accomplish by mid-January. Around that time, I will be kissing the Seabrooke family goodbye, and saying hello to my next two series, which I plan to release simultaneously. You'll get to meet the Tremblay family in the Ex-Pats series, and I'll be starting my Happy Holidays series. I am so excited about both of them! I hope my US readers are enjoying your Thanksgiving weekend! I know I ate way too much this weekend, but I've decided diets and exercise can wait until January. Bring on the Christmas cookies! Enjoy your week :) Love always, Lucy
