A day of working on the new Merry Novel, A Shiver of Light. I finished copy edits on a brand new Anita novella yesterday. Did I mention I was working on copyedits? The title for the novella is, Dancing.

My muse seems to have hit overdrive lately. Ideas, some Anita, some Merry, some brand new - short stories, novels, and every size in between. I used to joke that to write all the ideas I had I'd need to live to be at least two hundred, but at this rate more like three hundred. *laughs* But even I'm amazed at this new out pouring of creativity. So many cool ideas, new worlds, new characters, new thoughts. It's almost as if everything I went through this year has unleashed me, and set me free to explore everything.

1) She's finished copy edits? Shouldn't it be her copy editor who does that and then she finishes approvals?

2) Why do I disbelieve the outpouring of creativity? Oh, yeah, that's right, because she hasn't been terribly creative in ages, and what new characters she comes up with fit into cookie cutter holes.

Actually, a lot of writers go through several rough edits of their own work before handing it over to a professional editor (or more). That does make sense.

Now, if she's talking about FINAL edits on her own work, yeah, she's full of it.
