In fact that last time I did something on impulse when when I found out you were going to be appearing at a local library near me. That I had to make an exception for. I also really empathize with all my creative author friends who put their souls out there for public display everytime they release a new book. You my friend will not have to worry. All I have to do is read one of your FB, Twitter, or blog entries and I'm enthralled so when you actually sit down and put 300 or so pages together and tell a story. Wow I'm all yours. :)<br />deb<br />The Reading Frenzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17908245479700999445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2037419790609319671.post-62298446376976435282014-01-28T09:09:43.980-05:002014-01-28T09:09:43.980-05:00Great post, Hank!

Good to know that even after six successful books, the trick, still is, and always will be, butt in chair and write.<br />My debut comes out in June. I've written the second book in the series, am polishing it for my editor, but am procrastinating on my WIP -- using the holidays (yeah, I know it's nearly February) and kids home from school because it is too cold -- After reading this post, I'm going to lock myself in the bedroom for two hours and butt in chair, get her done!Kristihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01724127668983231150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2037419790609319671.post-70393240330209688672014-01-27T15:50:12.115-05:002014-01-27T15:50:12.115-05:00Yes, indeed, dear Mary!

I am indeed working on the revision. And it's finally coming along. This draft is as much re-vsion as revision. Which is harder, but my favorite kind of revision. I'll let you know when I send it.

But it is now noon, and I can stop procrastinating, at least for the next hour. (As soon as I finish this comment).<br /><br />And I can't imagine you writing anything that is less than awesome by the time it is done. I saw a saying I love this past weekend: First drafts don't have to be perfect, they just have to be written. =)Liz Millironhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04919409969263609919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2037419790609319671.post-9582664603747763062014-01-27T10:57:58.263-05:002014-01-27T10:57:58.263-05:00Oh, Kath, what is it you care about more?

Or getting your book published?<br />Come on--you can look for the sweater AFTER you get your ms. perfect. Right? And when you get on the NYT list, you can get a NEW sweater!<br />Let me know when you send it...xoxoHank Phillippi Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17420701704169428286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2037419790609319671.post-33364606637240597422014-01-27T10:44:59.540-05:002014-01-27T10:44:59.540-05:00And I'm procrastinating over revisions to a ms...And I'm procrastinating over revisions to a ms. a publisher is willing to look at again.

My partner is already dressed and making breakfast. <br /><br />I hate taking him anywhere since he's slowed down so much and his cognition has slipped a few gears. Maybe I'll start to write that review I was supposed to post last week?NoraAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14820850644240626655noreply@blogger.com
