You wrote the crap out of that book in November. Or maybe you've been working on yours even longer. The time has come... revision time.

We have gathered a group of fabulous book lovers: the ones who write the books, the ones who represent the authors, and the ones who edit the books. They all want you to succeed in making your book as shiny as it can possibly be before you query/publish.

Even though I didn't take part in NaNoWriMo, I'm looking forward to the conference! When it comes to revisions I never know when to quit.
ReplyDeleteMe too, Rena! Me too. I did NaNoRevMo, but somehow still have revisions to do! See you in January! Happy Holidays!
DeleteI didn't do NanaWriMo. But I did finish the last 20k of my story during then.
ReplyDeleteI guess you could say I've been revising one story on and off for a number of years now. Every time I read it to wind down, I end up revising ... in fact, now I think on it, I do that with every single one of them. ^_^
I did not do NaNo, though I've written at just about that pace in the last few weeks to finish by Jan. 1! My most difficult challenge for revisions is battling a feast or famine dynamic. When revising, I get all slashy and cut a lot of stuff. Then I get feedback that motivations and emotional connections are missing. So then I add more of that and it becomes too much. That's where CPs are essential!
ReplyDeleteCuriously, the book I'm just finishing has started out pretty spare. I think I'll be doing more adding than subtracting in revisions.
My kids were out of school for almost the entire month of November. Year round school kills NaNo for me almost every year. I only have two more chapters to write to finish my rough draft. My goal was to finish it by the end of the year and I think I'll make it. This little conference is perfectly timed.
ReplyDeleteDidn't do NANO but I've got two books (one medical thriller, one MG fantasy) that need some revision. I got some good specific feedback from an agent on the thriller but need some help figuring out how to apply it, and on the MG I only got one comment from an agent that threw me for a loop, so could use help with that also.
ReplyDeleteI didn't participate in NaNo this year, but I'm in the midst of revising my ms, so really looking forward to the conference!The hardest part for me is not going back to the beginning over and over, but rather giving as much time to revising the middle and climax.
ReplyDeleteI didn't do NaNo this year because I was already in the midst of revising one book and writing the second draft of another. The hardest part of revising for me is adding. This will be especially fun since I've decided that, for the book I'm currently revising, I'm going to chop 10+k and add what I thought would be a second book to it. It's going to take a bit of work, but I'm excited about it.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great contest! I didn't do NaNo either but I've been working away nonetheless
ReplyDeleteI didn't do NaNo, but I'm revising my book nonetheless and it never gets any easier for me, lol! Great contest!:)
ReplyDeletePerfect timing. I am busy with revisions. I'll take all the help you can give. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteSorry, it won't read my ID. Dawn Allen
I did not do NaNo this year. Too busy with revisions.
DeleteI did not do NaNo this year, because I had my first book coming out in November. Not that that should have stopped me, but the learning curve for all the social media I had to learn is quite steep.
ReplyDeleteThe biggest challenge I have when I revise is to not think every word I've written is crapola.
FANTASTIC CONTEST LOVE TO WIN!!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks. How do I claim my prize?
ReplyDeleteYou'll be getting an email shortly. Congrats!
