“Started reading Inside a Wish and so far I love it! Excellent job!”

“I finished your book (CRISIS COMPANY). You’re a master writer. You are up there with rl stine and james patterson. “

(R.L. Stine writes the Goosebumps series and James Patterson has written a LOT of books including the Alex Cross series, and Maximum Ride. AWESOME to be included in this list!!)

Off to my Editors

CRISIS COMPANY is going out to my editors tonight. Just getting final things set up and we are good to go!!

Now time to sit back and enjoy the holiday weekend – with fireworks!!

Might start my next book on Tuesday – or take a longer break.

Thanks again to everyone for all the support. Really enjoying the process of writing and sharing my stories.

Should be ready to mail out copies of CRISIS COMPANY to my editors tomorrow.

Thanks to everyone who volunteered to help make this a better story!!

Last Chance

This is your last chance to offer to edit CRISIS COMPANY. On Monday June 27th, I will be getting the book ready to send out to my editors. I am very pleased with the awesome people I have ready to read and help me make CRISIS COMPANY a better story!! Actually have a few more people than I planned – but that’s totally wonderful!!

Thanks to everyone who helped me get back on schedule to publish on August 1st 2011. My husband is at the top of that list!! Thanks, Sweetie!!

My next book is waiting and ready for me to start writing as soon as I have this one sent to my editors!!

Just finished ploishing the last chapter of CRISIS COMPANY!!

So we are back on schedule and ready to make a big PDF file for my editors!! Should be ready in a few days.

This week I will start adding more information about CRISIS COMPANY, including the list of characters and the first chapter.

Will be ready for publishing August 1st 2011!!

CRISIS COMPANY

Really pleased with how little I have to rewrite on this new story. Should be finished this weekend!! Hope to have everything set up to e-mail to my editors next week.

Although I now have enough volunteer editors, I would be happy to consider anyone else offering to read CRISIS COMPANY, and help me make it a better book. Please read my post about qualifications to be an editor and let me know by the end of this weekend. Thanks.

Definitely back on schedule to publish for August 1st!!

Easiest Ploishing Ever!!

Very happy with how easily CRISIS COMPANY is getting polished!! Finished chapter 5 today. Actually enjoying the process!! 🙂

Pleased to announce that today I started ploishing (that means polishing and editing – checking for mistakes and making sure my story makes sense). Really happy with the first two chapters and expect to have CRISIS COMPANY ready for my editors in two weeks!!

Looks like I can still be ready to publish on August 1st 2011 as planned!!

Still looking for at least one more editor – your chance to read the story first and help me make it a better book!!

We hope to have CRISIS COMPANY ready for the editors in about 2 weeks. If you want to read a copy before everyone else and have a chance to help me make it a better book – this is your chance!!

Here are some things I look for in editors –

To be chosen as an editor you must be reliable (able to meet a deadline) and trustworthy (you MUST not share the story with anyone else). You must be able to communicate clearly verbally and/or in writing. I allow at least two weeks (hopefully longer) for editors to read my books.

An account on Skype would be helpful for discussions but is not essential. Your parents MUST approve using a webcam if you are under the age of majority. I know!! But I am always protective of anyone’s identity so please forgive me for acting like an old Granny!!

If you wish to apply – please send me a Twitter @chucklebeary or post a comment here on my Website.
