What's Up Wednesday: Here We Go Let's Rock and Roll Edition

I'm catching the What's Up Wednesday hot air balloon from the blogs of Jaime Morrow and Erin Funk. Go to Jaime's blog to add your link.

Here's how it works:

WHAT'S UP WEDNESDAY

It's similar in some respects to the Currently... post, but it's been whittled down to only four headings to make it quicker and more manageable on a weekly basis. You're invited to join us if you're looking for something to blog about, a way to let your blog friends know what's been going on with you.

WHAT I’M READING

I just started edits for another client (new adult) and am also reading TAKEN by Erin Bowman. So far I’m super intrigued and I love that it’s a guy narrator. It’s due back to the library on Friday, so I’m going to kick it in to high gear!

WHAT I’M WRITING

Friends, I’m so excited to be a part of Ready. Set. Write! This is the extra push I needed to make revisions on BBSO happen and happen soon. It will take my mind off querying… oh wait, never mind. Obsessing and worrying go along with the waiting, don’t they?

Ready. Set. Write! Goals:

• First 30 pages of BBSO revised and ready to send to MNYA Writers by June 19. To be discussed on Saturday, June 29.
• Revise 30 pages each week.
• Review and revise complete manuscript during the final week.
• Send to CPs August 29.

I also have a Shiny New Idea that's been creeping through my mind lately. I've jotted down a few notes here and there, so who knows? Maybe I'll throw that into the mix as well.

WHAT ELSE I’VE BEEN UP TO

The Second Monday Book Club’s discussion of DIVERGENT was, as usual, intelligent, thought-provoking, and super fun. The discussion at one point turned to the Meyers-Briggs Type Indicator and we explored the idea of matching MBTI with the different factions. In my case, total match: ENFP and Amity. No question.

I enjoyed putting together the faction-themed foods:

WHAT INSPIRES ME RIGHT NOW

I'm inspired by keeping busy and having the opportunity to do what I love every single day. Some days that's writing and making progress on my revisions. Some days that's critiquing for my CPs, beta reading, or working on edits for clients. Some days it's connecting with others on social media, making the blog rounds, or being part of exciting new projects (stay tuned for more on the Exciting New Project!).

I'm a writer. I'm an editor. I'm a teacher. Some day I'd like to do these things full time but for now I'm grateful for every moment I'm able to work on something I love. ♥

So - you're signed up for Ready. Set. Write!, right? You all want this party started? Right? You all want this party started ... quickly! Right?
