Author afflictions

As those of you who have been readers of my blog for awhile know, I love Ilona Andrews' books. Her blog entry yesterday was priceless.

PAD -- Pre-elease Authorial Disease and DAD -- Deadline Authorial Disease.

I've had them both, and I will have them again. Just something for you pre-published authors to look forward to. Don't say I didn't warn you. ; )

My sister and niece will be arriving at our house tonight for the weekend. I haven't seen them in a couple of months, so I'll be taking tomorrow off from blogging -- AND editing. I'm going to have a relaxing weekend with my family. Derek's grandmother also turns 99 on Sunday, and the family is having a big birthday party for her.

BTW -- I need more questions from you all. Keep 'em coming.

Happy Friday!
Lisa

It's so nice when family can visit. I hope you have a good time.

Since you asked for questions I have one. How do you keep your endings from radically changing when your characters run away with your middles? (I've noticed in writing that if you change one little thing, it tends to have a domino effect on the story.)

I wondered if you had the answer to my questions (sent by email) yet :) Or have I just missed the post? (quite possible...) Enjoy the weekend!

I am now officially on another edit of Termion. Love my beta reader. Washing away the foam from the fire extinguisher. The work will be worth it, right ?
