Went over material included in the new haunted houses book. Found out I had forgotten to include YET ANOTHER THING so I added it and I also fixed some mistakes I had missed in the last review. Is this the book where I keep forgetting to include things in the revision/production process?? I wonder. But I'm glad I caught those things this time. I also added more stuff.

Wrote in GHOST Group Seven.

FINALLY revised the poetry book on dreams and dreaming. I was dissatisfied with one of the poems so I gave it a rewrite. I also finally figured out a title for this book. Contacted the editor about when to send it in for edits.

Put ALL the poems I wrote for the deaf poetry book into one file. Counted the poems and rearranged them so they'd flow better. Did a bit of revising with the poems but not yet revising the whole thing. That's getting saved for another day!

Did some research for the book, End Game, via links from Martha.

Added more material to the Virginia section in the new version of the haunted houses book.

Wrote in a chapter for the health book. While I was writing this chapter, I got an idea for a new poetry book! That is pretty cool because the other day I was thinking about how I am working on the last of the poetry books that I had unfinished and there were no more to write or create poems for. Now I have the idea for another poetry book to write! Yay!

Started writing a new chapter for the new first book in the “Revise Your Writing” series.

Worked on my notes for the books I am working on. Created a new "writing schedule" for them that is compatible with my new job schedule. I'll be able to get work done on these books AND write even as I work full-time this week! I just have to get up early enough in the morning to get that 1 hour of time.

I applied for a part-time position and got a full-time schedule. The LAST full-time job I had was when I was working as a freelance writer!

Anyway, I digress.

Started writing a chapter in the health book.

Made notes for new chapters to write in the book on preparing for the revision process in the "Revise Your Writing" series.

Started working on the Virginia section in the new version of the haunted houses book.

Yesterday was a VERY busy and also a difficult day but I was able to set aside some time to go over my notes for the book I want to finish writing this month. That would be the health book. I am thinking of making changes because it needs to have a stronger focus for a specific audience. I also went over notes on what poetry book I want to finish writing this month.

Today I went over my notes again. I also started gathering together what poems I have for this month’s poetry book to finish writing. It’s the last incomplete poetry book!

I WOULD also like to finish writing the book on overcoming fear, as well as the other book for the "Revise Your Writing" series (and I also came up with a new chapter to include in this book and added to my notes for it) and the seventh GHOST Group book, but we will see. 

This being the last month of the year, I also hope to finish fixing up the new version of the haunted houses book, get the new cover specs, and get it published.

My writing schedule was messed up so I made some changes today. Now, hopefully, it will work out better this week and I can get more things done with more books.

Received a possible cover image for my novel today. I liked it a lot. Gave the okay to use it. Will share on my writing blog soon.

Worked on novel revisions today.

Today I received images from my publisher for possible use on my novel’s cover. We went over them and I STILL couldn’t decide between two of a certain image that I liked. It was suggested to me that I ask my kids to pick so I did. They both selected one image so that’s the one that was chosen! I am just glad I did not have as much trouble with the character image.

Worked on novel revisions.

Wrote some poems for the poetry book.

Did some research for the Supernatural book. I have decided that there is enough material in this show for this kind of book but I will finish out the year gathering information for it before I put together my book proposal.
