In the Middle of Edits, but…

I wasn’t going to blog today, but I was checking for preorder sales on Kissing the Highlander and saw we had a couple of sales for Itunes! I hadn’t looked for the link today yet, but it’s now available there.

Kissing the Highlander:

I’m not sure what they’re supposed to be called, so I’m going to call them all kinds of names:

Apple/Itunes/Ibooks

This was a baron’s chamber at one of the Scottish castles. Nice view of the water. His wife had her bed chamber at the other end of the hall. Maybe a sitting area between them?

Okay, now, I’m behind on writing on A SEAL Wolf Diving for Trouble, of course, because A Silver Wolf Christmas edits have to be done and turned in. I’m over halfway done. Once I finish these, I’ll reread the book again. It’s kind of hard sometimes because there all kinds of changes through some sections, and so it’s easy to read the wrong thing. If I could just accept changes and reject changes, it would work. But they want to make sure I addressed all the issues so I can’t accept and reject changes. They want to see what I’ve changed.

I had some fun with the puppies last night. I’ve been getting them to go into their crate at night, giving them a treat. I didn’t used to, and they were fine with being in it. But I wanted to give them an extra incentive of going on on their own. So Max, 6 months old, is great about going in and sitting, waiting for his treat. But I have to be right up to the crate and then he goes in. My cue is: Bedtime, kennel.

Tanner, 11 weeks, just wants the treat, and usually, I have to lift him or give him a little push to get him inside, and then he sits with Max and they get their treats.

But last night, I said, “Bedtime, kennel,” and Max raced to the kennel. It was the cutest thing. He sat inside and wagged his tail. Course, I couldn’t get there quick enough because I hadn’t expected him to do that, and Tanner was underfoot as I was trying to get there, wanting his treat. So Max started to come out. But I said again, “Bedtime, kennel, and he whipped around and sat right back down. For the first time ever, Tanner joined him and sat next to him without me forcing the issue.

Yesterday too, I usually have them on my lap, desk chair sleeping while I’m writing. They sleep, and I don’t have to worry about them getting up and wandering and having accidents. But I wanted to begin to train them that they can have an afternoon nap in one of their beds. So it was a trial of patience. I put one in the bed, and then the other. Tanner would get out. I put him back in the bed and Max got out. I put them in the separate beds next to each other, Max got out. Tanner finally got it and stayed in the bed. Max kept wanting in my lap, but after maybe the fifth time of returning him to the other bed, he finally climbed into bed with Tanner and they slept.

Yes! Pumping fist. I AM the alpha! Sometimes I think I’m losing the battle. LOL

Okay, I’m back to edits! Have a lovely day! Oh, shoot, it’s Wednesday and that means garbage day. Usually get it out at oh-dark-thirty. Can’t believe it’s Wednesday already!!!

So it was warmer out and my neighbor was taking his garbage out, so we had to do more socialization training. Max was licking his sandaled feet. That is progress.

Kissing the Highlander at Barnes and Noble!

Jan13

Misty and Cold–not sure what the green stuff is that the farmer planted but it makes it look like spring. It isn’t. It’s cold. 🙂 I think we had snow showers/freezing rain at some point. It didn’t stick, but it didn’t feel like rain. It was too dark to see on one of my jaunts outside with the puppies.

Max and Tanner

They really have been angels. No chewing on…well, mostly, no chewing on stuff they shouldn’t. I put my wool coat on the coffee table, gloves, hat, so I can easily grab them and run the puppies outside. When they have to go, they have to go. I’ve taken to making them sit on my chair while I get bundled up. That way I don’t have to worry about them. So they had been playing with an empty birdseed sack and they had gotten really quiet. I stopped writing to see what they were up to. They had pulled down my coat and hat. Tanner was happily chewing on my hat. Max was lying on top of my coat, chewing on his chewstick. Ack.

Sooooo, they’re mostly good. And no accidents inside for several days. So we’re doing good.

Just wanted to share for our Nook readers, which I’m one, that Kissing the Highlander is now available for preorders at B&N!

I received first edits on Silver Wolf Christmas. Which means: one seemingly insignificant change can change EVERYTHING. Sooo that always means first edits are a bear. Lots of gnashing of teeth. I read through the comments last night, but I’m not a night person, so trying to tackle it wasn’t going to happen. It doesn’t mean that there are tons of changes, but just one change can affect tons of stuff in a mss. One time, they wanted me to put a kiss sooner in the book. I thought, no problem. But guess what, folks. When the hero and heroine have had that first kiss, it changes everything between them. The dynamics are different. They’re not anticipating it any longer. Been there, done that. AND you have to add new conflict to keep them from going further. Yes, I’m murder on my hero and heroine.

I write romance. What can I say?

Anyway, I always tackle the simple stuff first, but even that can change everything. Sometimes, I say no. That the comments made are wrong. That the way they’re suggesting the change will ruin the whole story. I used to roll over and play dead. Whatever my editors wanted. But when they started suggesting radical changes that would have destroyed the characterization, the black moment, the whole point of the book, I said no. I couldn’t do it.

Some battles aren’t worth fighting. Some changes are worth making. And some, absolutely not.

*sigh* And that means that I’m going to get WAY behind on SEAL Wolf Diving for Trouble. I was 900 words behind yesterday, which considering I was 6,000 words behind is not bad. But I need 3400 words today and with doing revisions on the other book, probably not happening.

Despite not wanting to even look at it this morning, I’ve got my sword in hand and I’m going to face the battle. You have to do it, you know. It doesn’t matter if you don’t want to. You just have to get into fighting stance and tackle it, one step at a time. And then, it’s just like word count. It happens!

“BIG sigh”

The puppies got me up at 4 am. I’m a morning person, but NOT that much of a morning person. I’ll be glad when they can last through the night and wake at a more reasonable hour. Like 5. 🙂

Have a super great Tuesday!!!

And may you win on all your battle fronts today! Or even better? Not have to face any!

And Tantor bought the rights to Jaguar Fever, so it will now be in audiobook format!!!

Savage Hunger is already in audiobook. Hopefully the rest of the series will be bought as well.

Okay, I’m still formatting Kissing the Highlander and I’ve started work on SEAL Wolf Diving for Trouble, title probably to change. I calculated I need 2500 words per day to make it in time for the deadline. I got the first 2500 yesterday, 77,500 to go.

When you start out at the beginning, it seems like so far to go. But I always have fun researching, so back to formatting, then while I’m waiting on the other authors to send me their stuff, I’ll work on my word count for SEAL.

Today is Max’s day to go into surgery. Hopefully, it will help reduce his urge to be a male dog quite as much. I don’t intend to breed them, and from what I’ve learned, unless they’re working dogs, it’s best to have them neutered. At least, if you want to have pets only.

Okay, I’m off to do work before I have to take poor Max in. Tanner is going to feel lost without him. I won’t be picking up Max until 3 pm tomorrow.

Have a super Wednesday, trash is out, need to get stool samples for the vet, omigod, my life is so dog bound now. LOL

And loving it. I have a couple of more puppy videos, but haven’t had any time to do anything with them. Need to take lots. Tanner is growing by leaps and bounds. He is such a fluff ball now.

Happy Hump Day!
