Don't pity him, he doesn't deserve it. <br /><br />No, it will be finished in the next year or so. I plan on personally making sure of it.

She knows how proud of her you are, and she'd immensely happy to hear your praise. ;) <br /><br />AUGH! WHY DON'T WE LIKE EDITING?!?!?! What is it with writers and editing? Seriously, I need to solve the age-long problem somehow before I die. ;)<br />You--you're working on the manuscript copy??? AHH!!!! I love "Ivan" so much! It's my favorite of all your works!! Oh, and just out of curiosity. . .where did you order the manuscript copy? <br /><br />Thank you! All keep all of your editing in my prayers as well! :) And I'm sure she will. <br />You're horrible. *strangles Emily* I feel sooo much better now.

But if God has given you the git of writing, then nothing is worthless! And every thing you write gives you more practice!

I know, right? I have enough ideas for a library full, but I have to push myself to finish even one story. *sigh* <br />One thing that has helped me is having a friend who I send my chapters to once I finish them. Then I have their "encouragement" to get the next chapter finished. Plus they can give tips and help me if I'm stuck. It's kinda like having a beta reader before it's finished. Which is awesome! :D Jesseca Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03248251614365079067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-487294723823194807.post-60924751296726434222016-03-19T20:14:43.966-05:002016-03-19T20:14:43.966-05:00I can't wait to have this book in my hands! B-...I can't wait to have this book in my hands! B-) <br />Editing...*groan* don't even get me started. There ALWAYS seems to be something somewhere in your book that alludes you to the bitter end...you don't realize it's a mistake until you're proof-reading it that last time and realize *grr* that it's been there all along. Then you have to wait yet another week or month before publishing your book. 4rmeddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00261666077481922005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-487294723823194807.post-12822989074262456802016-03-19T18:38:47.284-05:002016-03-19T18:38:47.284-05:00Yes, Fridays are pretty great. :) I usually get qu...Yes, Fridays are pretty great. :) I usually get quite a bit of reading done on the weekend too. :)<br />I really enjoyed the excerpt!

Not just for writing but for virtually everything. ;) <br />Aw, poor Kurt! Getting dragged around as Jesseca's...announcer? ;) <br /><br />What stage is my novel in? Um, first draft. And at the rate I'm going it will be for... 5 years? Maybe 10. B-) No, I do not enjoy editing. At the current moment I enjoy nothing that has to do with words. >_< <br /><br />Loved the post, Jesseca!! :) Faith P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12321422384005620538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-487294723823194807.post-27903455061680987632016-03-18T19:17:43.675-05:002016-03-18T19:17:43.675-05:00Ohhh I loved your excerpt!

I am so proud of that friend of yours, she is quite wonderful if I do say so myself. B-) That didn't sound conceited or anything...<br /><br />Editing. Well, I have a hate/hate relationship with editing. I have gotten a lot more disciplined with it over the last year and do actually get it done, but let's just say the queen of procrastination usually puts it off until she has nothing else to do. ;) I'm currently editing my novel "Ivan" by hand (doing a manuscript edit at last!), and working on finishing up computer editing of "Volume One, I-6: Legend of the Mornellys". Should be done with that within two or three weeks hopefully. Still need to do a final edit of "Free". ;) Editing, editing, editing. <br /><br />I'll be praying for you and your editing and I hope that friend of yours keeps you on your toes and continues to help you edit faster! ;) :D I loved the clip you showed us and I loved Kurt,I think he and a certain Luka would get along great. ;) Oh, who is Luka? Well, I guess you'll find out in Snow Day... ;) :D :D<br /><br />TEASERS! :DAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04907062710630466969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-487294723823194807.post-59739260639146585162016-03-18T14:50:56.906-05:002016-03-18T14:50:56.906-05:00That was in fact a very "bad" teaser Jes...That was in fact a very "bad" teaser Jessica!<br />I'm on the last chapter of my middle-sized story. I enjoy editing other people's works but not my own, because... I tend to hate myself, get discouraged, think my story is worthless, and all sorts of other horrible stuff that invariably end in editor's block.R.

My novel, well, lets just say that I haven't been able to work on it for awhile and lets just say that I have a slight case of writer's block. However, I have discovered that I am wonderful with coming up with way more ideas for stories to write than I will ever be able to do something with. I start them, and after the first few pages start something new even though I want to keep working on the previous story/ies. Any tips?
