I've got an editor!

I've got an editor!
I posted on IP's forum that I was seeking an editor and someone with some experience here and there is helping me out.  I've never actually had another person edit a book with me so I am looking forward to this.
As always I'm going to keep you updated, and hopefully this person who is editing with me will be able to make my story much better.  Hopefully together we can edit it so it is almost bullet proof.
Think we can do it?
Well, it's not going to be perfect, but we're going to work towards getting it somewhere farther.  Wish me luck?

And some writers are already asking me to help them edit their stories.  Wow!  I've never editing anyone else's work, besides my own and my friends', but it will definitely be a new experience.
Good luck to all of you wonderful writers out there who are also in the process of massive revisions and editing!

Interview coming soon and etc

I just wanted to stop in to tell you guys that I'll be attempting to post the interview with Julie Musil again today.  I am really going to try my best to make it so it's on today eventually.  And if you are a writer and would be interested in being interview, please just comment and let me know.

Book JacketAlso I have to make major changes to chapter one of Cursed with Power for reasons I shall explain later today.  For now you can just read what I have here.  Maybe if you check in again later today I'll even give a little hint as to what exactly will now be going into the first chapter.

Later expect also a post about writing a prologue, which I already have posted on Write Here's blog.
That's all I can say for now.

What's new?

Well, I'm glad you asked because I can actually tell you several things.  Whether you want to read this or no I'll leave for you to decide.
I lied when I said that I am now reading Bourne Objective.  I am actually reading Magic Under Glass because I discovered this book at the library and it sounded really good.  I am only into the fourth chapter now, but already is has my full attention.  If you want to read a story with romance, mystery, and perhaps, yes, even some magic this is definitely the book!  Seeing as I like it so much already, I may very well post up a review about it when I'm finished.
Currently writingCursed with Power went up to 967 in ranking.  While I'm a bit devastated to see it go up in ranking again, I have not lost all hope.  After all, I am not even finished with the book yet so I have a ways to go before I start really getting everyone to read it.

In case you didn't see, I added music to the blog.  I know it seems like a lot of the songs are by male artists, but please know that I did not do this on purpose.  It just so happens that I was trying to think of some of my very favorite songs to share with you, and a lot of them are ones I have listened to recently.

And I am returning to book swaps.  (Sort of)... It is just taking me forever, I realize, because I want so badly to just work on my book instead.  Of course, if I never do the book swaps then I'll never hear back from others, so I am forcing myself along very slowly.

I don't know if I mentioned this, but I did start chapter 13 yesterday.  I feel like I have not been working on Cursed with Power in a really long time, and I think because of that feeling I am going to read back a lot of it to myself so I can refresh my memory.
And for now that's about all...
