[tweetmeme source=”stickynotestory” only_single=false http://rebeccaenzor.wordpress.com/2010/08/17/sticky-60/] Hey guys, you remember how I Kicked It Up A Notch the other week? After that insanity I took a little time off to read and ruminate on this new (to me) process of editing. And a few days ago, after finishing the Mortal Instruments series (which I highly recommend and will talk […]
[tweetmeme source=”stickynotestory” only_single=false http://rebeccaenzor.wordpress.com/2010/07/29/kick-it-up-a-notch/] You guys, I’m very excited today. If you’ve been following me on Twitter (see the side bar!) you’ve seen that I finally learned how to edit today. Not just take out a word here or there or make it flow a little better, but I learned how to take a scene and

[tweetmeme source=”stickynotestory” only_single=false http://rebeccaenzor.wordpress.com/] I do apologize for not putting up a sticky for the past couple of weeks. I’ve actually been writing Kaye scenes, and when Kaye finally decides to speak you shut up and listen, because normally her sister drowns her out.

[tweetmeme source=”stickynotestory” only_single=false http://rebeccaenzor.wordpress.com/] You guys, I have just been blown away by a plot twist. As in, I’m having trouble thinking of anything else, because the sheer awesomeness of this plot twist is overshadowing everything else. In fact, the Hunger Games series has kept me guessing right from the beginning. Every time I think I
So I know I’ve kind of been missing since last week’s post about Hitting the Wall. But that’s because the next morning I woke up and I had so many ideas to write! I knew what had to be done to Chapter 3 of Fie Eoin (I cut the entire first scene), I wrote 3000
I’ve done it. After a good solid run of organizing, typing, editing, storylining and writing I’ve finally hit the wall as far as most things writing-related go. I’m exhausted mentally. I’ve been trying all week to get the third chapter of Fie Eoin to my writing group, and while I read and cross things out and
Happy Summer Solstice! I know that today’s sticky is about Spring, but since it’s already been over a hundred degrees here for the past two weeks I must say I’m really missing spring. The new, bright colors, the rain, the ability to go outside at seven in the morning and take the dogs for
I’m having a problem lately getting Pike, my antagonist in Fie Eoin, to be more creepy and less like a little boy trying to flirt but not knowing how. Granted, the in the beginning of the book he has just gone through the ceremony to become a man, so he probably should act a bit

Have you ever been scared and breathless, friends? I was this week – I sent the first few chapters of Fie Eoin to my critiquing group to read and give back. And then I really went all out and posted the excerpt online for a critiquing group full of strangers. Talk about scared! But you know
