Editor v. Creator

I need to apologize to you!

I thought I had scheduled something for Sunday and, as the hermitoad I am, I just decided to break from my real world shell and creep into cyberealm, only to discover that I forgot! :(

Ugh!

I forgot all about yesterday.

What I've been doing:

I've decided to make it a point to edit Rock Star 3 hours a day, but for the weekend. I love it. I actually feel refreshed when I walk away from it. I love the left-brain work it forces me to do.

I challenged myself to continue with fresh writing.

I need to continue a novel I had dropped in order to edit a different WIP--YA Darkspell. I'm so bad.

First, what I plan to do, is read through its entirety (most likely edit obvious mistakes), and then--hopefully!!!--pick up where I left off and finish the darn thing.

It's a vampire read. No, nothing like Stephenie's stuff. I like to think of it more like an Underworld kinda thing (in terms of intensity).

I can't remember when the last time it was when I wrote a new book while I edited another. It's like writing left and right handed at the same time, don't you think? Leaping from editor mode to creator mode? Ack!

Have you ever written a new novel while editing another? How do you disengage yourself from one hat to the other?

Tagged: What's in my Bag?

I have been tagged by the beautiful Sangu!

I'm to reveal the contents in my bag, but unfortunately, I don't own a purse so I'm choosing my computer bag!

Muahahahahah!

Here it goes!

How much stuff can I fit in here? Well, enough to make it look round! Lol, but I don't want the poor thing to roll off any flat surface, so I restrain myself from overstuffing it!

Let me see if I can describe everything here without causing chaos! Yelp! think I can do that? Uh--let me try!

Starting from the top (clockwise) is my lappie--freshly born from the store this past February! :D There is the software below that with a USB cord along with notes on pieces of paper beneath it. There's the recharging cord along with an extension cord, because my house doesn't have the ground plug to it (grrr). Then there's a few pieces of candies I have stashed. The bead-work key chain holders were made by my kidlets and what's hooked to them is my flashdrive!! The white sheets of paper on top of the manilla folders are editing notes on staging my edits for any WIPs. What's in the top manilla folder are my drawings for my personal blog and the bottom folder has tons of topics for my both of my blogs.

There you have it. The inner sanctum of Elizabeth Mueller's writing corner in a bag! ;)

Okay, ready? Get set? Go!!!!

Tag, you're IT!!

Just as Sangu had asked in her post, I'm also curious. What's in your bag now? ;) (I showed you mine, tell me yours!)

Freedom

*Info on monument found here

Seeing how many have suffered in the distant and near past, my heart and eyes and pain are full for them.

I know that the Lord had never intended for man to be subdued, controlled, beaten, (since His is a message of love) but there are always those who succumb to the power of greed and don't care for the human factor of life but themselves.


I am forever grateful that the Lord had provided a home for those who will seek it out. A land promised freedom so long as they remember Him.

Happy Independence Day!

Friday guest was Cheri Chesley--who guessed right? ;)

*update: I decided to remove the video clip of Braveheart because I wasn't advertising the movie, I wanted to point out that people throughout time and various places have suffered due to oppression.

Guess Who This is?

Hello my bloggie palz!

This summer has been sooo crazy for me--there's so much time to spend with the kids and
very little m0ney to spend on them. *sigh* At least they're enjoying their freedom of no
school!

Okay, here goes my Friday guest!


She's hand-written 282 pages in a year and 10 months. She is a mother of 5 wonderful kidlets. In January, she was offered a contract to publish her YA romance. She's written in several genres, but fantasy is her passion.


Who is she?
