Hello! I’m back.

And I’ve been writing furiously! Hurray!

Surprising, isn’t it? In my last post, I said I wasn’t going to think about what other people are doing anymore, and I’m not. So, I finished my space opera novella and I finished my science fiction crime drama. 🙂 I’m very pleased. Now I’m getting ready to publish them both.

I broke down and bought AutoCrit. You know, that really popular editing/critiquing/whatever software many writers use to help them with their work. I wasn’t going to pay for such a thing, but I really want my work to be the best it can be. Well, I used it’s fiction analyzer tool on both my novels and I was shocked, utterly shocked, to see that my overall “score” for both of them was in the percentile: “in line with bestseller expectations.” I was very happy and surprised. (Because I think my writing is shit, remember.) I was floored. Still, I made many edits and took many of the software’s suggestions and improved both works. I am now happy and pleased with both of them. I hope other people will like them.

I am going to move on to writing the first book in my cozy mystery series. 🙂 I also have another crime comedy book I am working on, too. That one has a vampire in it. It’s fun. 🙂 I am quite motivated to write. I am liking this feeling a lot. I am having fun again! ❤
