190th post

Wow, this is my 190th post *throws confetti around*

I'm deep in revisions. Stressing out about the minimal things in the story, and hoping that when I send it to betas, they won't think it totally sucks. I mean ROYALLY sucks.

One thinks this is horrible
Fortunately the Queen won't be reading the Manuscript and making such faces. Though I wouldn't mind another royal reading the manuscript.
Prince Carl Philip of Sweden
Ok, I'm totally taking the mickey right now. Hey, I'm entitled to doing so after crying angry tears over the first eight chapters of #Interred. You might wonder why that is and I could tell you it's because I'm such a perfectionist, that I want it to be great for my betas. I want them to fall in love with Declan. Who coincidentally looks like Ben Barnes in my mind.
Right, so as I was saying before drooling over losing my trail of thought over Ben Barnes picture, the tears aren't over being anal and wanting this manuscript to shine. The tears are over how I hate editing. It's tedious. I hate checking for all those words I over use, because I want to shoot myself in the foot when I find them. I hate revising the text for pacing and readability. I know it's important to do so, otherwise, you the reader will think it's BADLY written and will not fall in love with Declan. Have I mentioned how awesome Declan is? No? Well trust me, it's not only that he looks awesome, but he's awesome.
Sorry Barney, Declan is more awesome than you are :)
So here we are, I've rambled on about #Interred during this 190th post. You probably are none the wiser about this WIP. In order to help you find out a bit more about Baxter who looks something like this:
Monika Jagaciak
I'm going to share with you the initial pitch for it. It hasn't change that much, so here it is:
When Baxter Jacobs inherits a musical box with an onyx inside of it, she is in for more than your average sweet sixteen party. Moving to England, a mysterious protector trapped in a glimmer only she can see and the knowledge that in order to learn to use her powers, she must be interred are doing her head in. 

AND by the way to celebrate 100 followers, I organized an impromptu giveaway of Chelsea Fine's Anew and Raine Thomas Becoming, the winner was G Donald Cribbs. Happy Reading!
