Monday miscellaneous stuff & updates

Update on The Trouble With Demons: I am finally over "the hump." Thank you, God. Since I've added two chapters toward the beginning, I'm now on Chapter 13. Almost halfway there. Jeez, and I haven't even introduced the main villain yet (he's been discussed, but not seen). Though I'll be taking care of that in the next two chapters. Yep, I see some major editing work in my future, but that' s okay, I love the editing part. Cutting, pasting, condensing, expanding -- fun stuff. ; ) That's when the book comes alive.

Website update: I'm now getting close to 40,000 hits a month on my website (an average of about 1,100 hits per day) from between 40 and 50 countries. *big grin* Thank you so much for visiting! And if you enjoy reading my blog, please tell your friends and blog buddies. There's plenty of room for everybody! ; )

And thank you for the wonderful Amazon and Barnes & Noble reviews! Good reviews make more people want to buy MLTF, and the more people who buy MLTF (and Armed & Magical, and The Trouble With Demons. . .), the more books my publisher will want me to write. I love telling Raine's stories. So if you enjoyed MLTF, spread the word so I can keep the stories coming. ; )

Tomorrow's blog topic is the third of the "5 Things I've Learned About Writing." When you want to be published, one of the things you need to do is grow a thick skin. Trust me, you'll need it. Tomorrow's blog will be entitled: "Trade your skin for rhino hide."

Have a great Monday!
Lisa

God I really dislike editing! I don't know how you can love it, but to each her own I guess.

LOL. It's what I do for a living: writer/editor/proofreader at an advertising agency. I love taking things apart and putting them back together -- to make them better, of course. ; )
