Happy May 1st everyone! After doing the A to Z Blogging
Challenge, I totally forgot that today was the first Wednesday of May!! So here
is my post for the IWSG just a bit late, but still on the day, whew. Thanks to
J.H. Moncrieff and Alex, whose blogs I follow, for reminding me.
The awesome co-hosts
for the May 1 posting of the IWSG are
Please visit their blogs and thank them for co-hosting
this month!
While doing the A to Z, I also managed to finish my current
work in progress and sent it out to beta readers for opinions. Which, because I
didn’t want to sit around worrying on whether it will be liked, I set to on the
next project, which is revisions to a novel that is one in a series. I’m
nervous. I’m excited. I’m happy to make progress when I felt progress was going
so slowly.
Now, on to the fun stuff! Which is two announcements from
the IWSG website! The newest anthology has been released today, and the announcement
for the next one has also been released today. I love a good news day!

It's good that you started on revising another manuscript. I do that too. It changes my focus and helps me move on.
ReplyDeleteThanks for mentioning the anthology too. I think I pre-ordered. Need to go check my amazon account.

The Challenge and writing - I'm in awe!
ReplyDeleteThanks for mentioning our big news today.
Congrats on completing the A to Z Challenge and sending your current WIP to beta readers.
ReplyDeleteHappy IWSG Day!
You finished your WIP while doing A to Z? Wow. Good for you! :D
ReplyDeleteI hope you get great feedback from your beta readers.
ReplyDeleteI think moving on to new projects is the only way to survive. And be sure your betas are enjoying the story :)
ReplyDeleteThat's impressive that you made so much writing progress while doing A-Z. I doubt that I could have.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on all your creative progress!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on getting your WIP to your beta readers. Along with A to Z, that is one hell of an accomplishment!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on finishing the A-Z Challenge and for getting so much done last month.
ReplyDeleteYou did the A-Z AND finished a book? Wow.
ReplyDeletePretty picture of the tulips. Also thanks for visiting me on Wed.

Completing A to Z is a big deal. Best Wishes to your new project too. Happy IWSG.
ReplyDeleteGlad to be your reminder, Lisa! :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on finishing anything during the A to Z Challenge, let alone a novel. Sounds like you're on fire! Hope the editing process goes well.
I don't think I ever finished the A-Z, maybe once, but probably not, knowing me, so good on you, Lisa :)
ReplyDeleteHope the new project is coming along nicely, like a well-prepared slow cooker meal :)
PS: No idea if that seaweed was endangered, but it wouldn't surprise me at that price...
Congrats on finishing your work in progress and getting it out to beta workers. Hopefully they all like it or are able to give you some helpful insight.
ReplyDeleteWith Love,
Mandy
