I think you'd be a great editor if you finish mss, which is great because finishing the first draft is a matter of closing your eyes and typing until "THE END". Revisions are so much harder.Alyssa Carlierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10995554896786109238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2981664243653036268.post-85049878929762274252015-06-04T16:07:09.804+08:002015-06-04T16:07:09.804+08:00Yay, thank you!

It is a labour of love, and more labour than love. Hans Zimmer would be fantabulous.

(I need to come up with more interesting ways to record my writing!) My lips are sealed on the new project -- until the 5th, because I'm planning to take part in Paper Fury's Beautiful People.<br /><br />Yes! That's exactly the feeling! That's why breaks are so important -- and I'm taking a break on WTA too, to wait for beta responses and make an editing action plan. I might get it done in time for Pitch Wars, but we'll see.Alyssa Carlierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10995554896786109238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2981664243653036268.post-2365848699734707742015-06-02T16:07:18.418+08:002015-06-02T16:07:18.418+08:00WRITING SUPPORT CLUB ASSEMBLE.

WTA is actually a dystopian take on Mulan! #WatchMeWrite is a great way to force myself to focus, because I'm hyper-aware of the screen recording. I know some people work differently and it freaks them out instead, but you may want to give it a try!<br /><br />Glad to have met you, Jillian!Alyssa Carlierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10995554896786109238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2981664243653036268.post-91926019323258710362015-06-02T16:04:55.247+08:002015-06-02T16:04:55.247+08:00First of all, hope you enjoyed the trip!

It's fixed now :D (dratted HTML, never seem to get it right)<br /><br />So you're already signed up for my newsletter, which means I will be sending out info (and opportunities to read!) about the project come July. But before that I will have teasers and probably a #WatchMeWrite on the blog.<br /><br />WTA is around 79K, but it'll probably end up a touch shorter in its final form, once I've excised all the flabby sentences!Alyssa Carlierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10995554896786109238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2981664243653036268.post-58293515108474817732015-06-02T12:47:38.313+08:002015-06-02T12:47:38.313+08:00This is so cool!

I can't wait to see more projects (and thanks for reminding me to watch; I'm excited to see all the changes that have been in the story!) and all the other fun #WatchMeWrite things that are to come.

It seems like a lot!Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16797485444727976121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2981664243653036268.post-20071973953633008512015-06-02T10:52:28.551+08:002015-06-02T10:52:28.551+08:00Ohhhh to be a writer!

I think I should personally hire Hans Zimmer to compose daily for me. Wadya think? A fool-proof plan, no?

And while I don't write novels, I find that by the time I've been editing my essays for a few day it kind of loses it's meaning and it's a lot harder to critically read.

You have no idea how happy it makes me feel just meeting other bloggers who are writers as well! So hello there! :)<br /><br />It's pretty interesting, how you could write so much! Honestly, sometimes I procrastinate in my writing or open a new tab to browse online. Then I end up neglecting my work. It's an awful habit, but I'm working on it! <br /><br />Can't wait to hear more about you think up of!
