I have moved.

I've been hearing a lot of advice about how using wordpress as a website is a lot more useful in the long run than blogger. I thought and thought, and finally buckled.

Here is my new website:

http://samaustinwriter.wordpress.com/

I'm going to miss this site but I'm sure I'll get settled soon enough. Blog posts for november are already scheduled - and starting from the 8th November I'm planning on putting a new short story on the website every week. At the end of that week it'll be taken down and a new one put up.

I've added a button so you can follow the blog via email to make it extra easy.

Holly Lisle how to revise your novel - lessons 15 and 16 done.

Yup, I am now on lesson 17, which is terrifying. In lesson 17 we actually cut the thing and rewrite it. It's going to take a while.

So far, two scenes done of seventy-one. I'm trying out doing it by hand as the lesson suggests. Yeah, being dyspraxic, I average about 10wpm by hand. It's slow going, but I want to give it my best shot.

I'm determined. Just sixty nine more scenes to go.

So far I'm really liking this course. I guess the real test will be once the rest of the lessons are done and the novel is complete. Holly Lisle has a very systematic way of breaking down the steps of editing that my logical brain loves.
