*breathes*
Here's my week wrap-up...a fast and furious Friday Five. The top five things on my radar this week:
5. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Here's my all-time favorite MLK, Jr. quote:
"Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that."
Just--awesome.
4. Beta-reading for Lindsay Currie and Jay C. Spencer. Totally different manuscripts, each individually wonderful. And I can't wait to read Tonya Kuper's revisions on HAUTE MESS, which is a hilarious rom-com close to my heart.
3 & 2. Blogs!
Check out One Four Kid Lit, full of 2013 MG and YA debuts, and get to meet MG and YA authors debuting in 2014. So many great books ahead!
Coming next Monday...All The Write Notes, a blog for writers who love, and live, music. The first post is about The Rural Alberta Advantage, and Jay C. Spencer is giving away cool stuff. (I'd tell you but I'm sworn to secrecy. Well, not really, but it's SO COOL. You want it, trust me.)
I'm so stoked to be part of both of these blogs I can barely stand it.
1. NIL edits.
BOOM. Done. And it feels so good. I turned them in, on time, and I feel really, really good about them. I can't wait to see my cover...and to hold an ARC...and for 2014!
Soon I'll post a NIL playlist, but in the meantime, I leave you with this: Willie Moon's Yeah Yeah. I cranked this song when I finished, feeling it for me and for my manuscript. And if you haven't seen this video, then you're in for a treat. It rocks.
Enjoy.:)
