Ta-daaa! Just like that, I’ve decided that slowing down is exactly what I need, and what my work needs. Usually I skip even rolling up my sleeves and dive head-first into a book, but now…well, working out the kinks of a second book in a series is proving a wee bit more complex than I thought. So in order to make NINTH GRADE SUCKS even better than (or at least as incredible as) EIGHTH GRADE BITES, I need to take my time with revisions. So…I’m not touching the manuscript.
Nope. So far, I’m living with the big questions that my wonderful editor raised and trying to figure out the answers to them. Once I have them, I’ll move on to making changes, but right now, I need to think.
But all this thinking time can be headache-inducing. For instance, how do I go from an average of eighty visitors a day to an average of eight on this blog? I suspect it’s the address change…I hope it is, anyway. So, you know, if any of you eight get up the urge to spread word of the new address (which I thought I’d done pretty well, but then again…maybe I didn’t), g’head. I’m not complaining. It’s not like it matters *twitches* much.
Okay, so it matters. But I’m trying not to fret. I’m too busy to fret.
After all, I have to go read up on the morphing abilities of vampires again (Gawd, I love my job).

Sometimes you need to slow down to actually enjoy the ride
I have updated the link to your blog on my blog… so the 1 or 2 people that visit my blog a year will be able to directly jump to your blog
Just know that your minions love you no matter which Heather you choose to be.
Love the new site, Heather!
Thanks, guys!
Well, I prefer small groups of people and 8 seems like a number I can handle. Actually, any more than myself in a room and I get nervous………. *L*
Did you post your move on your old blog? I’ve updated mine as well but I don’t get all that many hits myself, not since the excitement died down.
Besides, you shouldn’t be here anyway. You, M’Lady, should be writing.
EJ
Fret not, Heather! You know we love you!
Small groups I can handle…but amny, many readers.
Nope, didn’t post a link on my old blog because this blog runs off of that one, but with a different addy (or something…look, I’m not a techie–my webmaster did it for me) So….huh.
And I am writing! LOL! Uhhh…kinda…you know, brainstorming.
Awwww, Jackie loves me! :-*
I like to leave a manuscript “resting” for two months in between revisions, if at all possible. It helps me go back to it with fresh eyes.
Ah, see, between revisions, I leave it a month. Any less and my eyes aren’t fresh. Any more and I lose my lind.
