By LK Gardner-Griffie on December 18, 2010

Once again I’m staring down the path at the finish line. This time is a little different for me because it is not part of my Misfit McCabe series.

The Love Hate Relationship

The Love Hate Relationship

By LK Gardner-Griffie on December 2, 2010

I have a love / hate relationship with my editing software. I go through and do all of my edits, do a read through, and when I think things are in good shape, I bring out the evil editing software. I call it evil S.

Revisions and Edits Bear Gems

By LK Gardner-Griffie on September 25, 2010

Today I happened to be over at my TwitterSister Eisley Jacob’s blog checking our her post on editing and revising. This is a topic which is always dear to my heart, since I spend so much of my time on a book in this phase.

Time to Stop Procrastinating

Time to Stop Procrastinating

By LK Gardner-Griffie on June 22, 2009

There are days I feel like I was born to procrastinate. I can be very good at it if I want to be. Anything and everything can serve as a distraction for the work I should be doing.

Thoughts From the Morning Commute – Waiting for the Siren Call

Thoughts From the Morning Commute – Waiting for the Siren Call

By LK Gardner-Griffie on June 11, 2009

Starting Memorial Day weekend, I took a two and a half week stay-cation, and expected to be able to work on the editing of Nowhere Feels Like Home, but life doesn’t always turn out as expected.

Thoughts from the Morning Commute – Authors Twitter

By LK Gardner-Griffie on April 1, 2009

It’s been a few days since I posted one of my thoughts from the morning commute. Part of the reason is that I took a few days off and wasn’t going to work. I was barricaded at home behind my computer screen madly editing away on Nowhere Feels Like Home. Since being back to work, [...]

Dancing on Top of the World

By LK Gardner-Griffie on March 30, 2009

I’m doing a happy dance because I have officially completed the editing process (phase I) for Nowhere Feels Like Home! Whoo Hooo!! People, I think we might actually have a book on the way. The phase I editing process is always the worst (unless of course I happen to be in phase II, III, or [...]

Day 2 of Good Progress

By LK Gardner-Griffie on March 29, 2009

It is extremely satisfying to note that I had a second day in a row of good progress on editing my novel, Nowhere Feels Like Home. With the starts and stops that I have been experiencing, and inability to focus on getting the job done, prior to yesterday, I began to despair (just a teeny [...]

A Good Progress Day

By LK Gardner-Griffie on March 28, 2009

I have been struggling a little bit with the editing process, feeling like I was going too slow and not accomplishing very much each day. Of course, there have been all sorts of interruptions to the process, which doesn’t help. I don’t like setting goals and not meeting them however, so have not been pleased [...]
