1) I started a new book review blog with a friend of mine, and it's taken up quite a bit of time between designing it and reading books and writing reviews. We've set up author interviews and giveaways, and it's just been so much fun. You can go to www.blogger.com/dualperspectivesreviews to check it out.
2) I am in the process of rewriting Knight's End. "But Jami! You already published that one!" Yes, yes, I know. But with all of the LotR I've been watching lately and the fantasy novels I've been reading, I started to notice something wrong with Knight's End. It's supposed to be a historical fantasy, but the fantasy elements are just barely there. Not only that, but I have an elaborate world of corrupt monarchs and knights and forests and mind readers and I don't really show any of that in the first book, aside from the Rogue murdering people. I just sort of realized that it could have been so much better, and now I am working on making it that better book (I am 12,000 words into the rewrite, so it'll be a bit before you see it.)3) I have also been busy doing final edits on a ghost story called Otherworldly that I plan to release in January of next year. I wrote most of the book in June and then did rewrites and finished the story in October. After more rewrites, added and deleted scenes and work with a couple of excellent photographers and designers on the cover, I am waiting for the files to be approved so I can do my final read-through, touch some stuff up, and then release it on kindle and in paperback. It is available to add to your goodreads "To-Read" list now, though, at this link: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/16287012-otherworldly
4) Work and school. I switched jobs *which I may have mentioned in an earlier post, since it's been a few months* and I actually like my job so I've actually been going to work. And it pretty much wipes me out for the night. On my nights off, I am blogging, writing, reading, and therefore not spending any time at all with my blog. School... here's a touchy subject. I am currently taking the last Business Management class offered at my college, as well as two introductory Criminal Justice classes. I am not enjoying any of them, and they just stress me out to no ends. Finals are this coming Tuesday, so guess what I've been doing?! Not studying. No, just doing last minute homework and looking forward to kissing these classes goodbye.
5) Thinking about moving. Looking for apartments in different cities and restaurants I could work at and colleges with writing programs has taken so much time out of my life. And I still have no idea where I want to go. I basically know what I want to do for the rest of my life (write and work for a publishing company), but I have no idea where I want to do that...
And that's about it... my life in five paragraphs. That's sort of sad, really. Until next time, happy reading!
Jami
