I think this quote applies to writing because both music and writing are a passion, so I have found a way to enjoy both simultaneously. I have created a playlist on Itunes called "Writing." This is the music I've been editing while listening to so I figured I would try something new. I've shuffled the playlist and will put a new song in my blog with each new blog so everyone can get a taste of what I'm listening to! Its a big mixture of Florence and the Machine, Mumford and Sons, Taking Back Sunday, etc. All my faves! So, Here's song #1:

Hey folks, I've been slacking the past couple days but I'm getting back on it tonight. I don't feel fantastic so we'll see how much I actually get done but I'd like to get something out there tonight. I can't believe I had 129 views with my last blog! That's amazing! Thank you so much for checking out my work.
I have been getting more blog comments recently and I appreciate that as well, but I'm definitely greedy for more! Please don't feel shy or embarrassed or anything I love reading feedback. Well, best get going, but before I do I have a question for the general public: anyone know where I can get a publishing agent?? -EJG Hey folks, got chapters 8 and 9 up today, so if you haven't already, have a look!
Another amazing thing about today, on of my favorite authors of all time, Thomas Sniegoski author of "Fallen", liked my Facebook page! I thought it was so amazing and I really appreciated that he took the time to look at it. Also, thank you to all of my likes, you guys are the best and I'll keep plodding along so you've got something to read!! -EJG Hey there,
As I'm sure everyone knows, I posted chapters 6 and 7 last night. Seven was a bit of a challenge to edit because i needed to add a lot more to it but I'm actually surprised by how much of my original writing I'm actually keeping. Pretty impressed with myself! On another note, I like to post little tidbits every now and again so here's a site I've been looking at every Sunday for the past, god, seven, eight years? I'm sure some of you might know it but for those newbies, it is definitely something to look forward to on a sunday" Post Secret Back to editing! Almost time to write again! -EJG So last night I finished completely editing chapter 1 and posted it along with a little extra blurb that wasn't part of the first time round. I hope everyone enjoyed it and is looking forward to more chapters today!
Cracking on, I should have the next 2 or 3 chapters up in the next few hours so keep an eye out for that, I'll be posting links on my Facebook page throughout the day. Enjoy! -EJG Take that, editing! I have completed the on paper editing, now its time to get it all typed up. It shouldn't take as long as the actual editing process although I'm sure I'll find some things I'll change again. So glad this is done, I can't wait to start writing again! I've looked through my old notes and I'm so excited for the twists and turns this is going to take over the next, I'm guessing, 10 chapter. That brings it up to 24, that's pretty good for a first novel I think!
Off we go! -EJG ...2 to go! I reached my goal yesterday of finishing off 11 and 12, so it on to 13 and 14 today, hoping to get those done, get it all typed up, and start writing again by the weekend. I think that's a pretty doable goal! Let's get cracking on then...
Also, I have a meeting with an international advisor tomorrow to see what I have to do to get my visa to stay in Scotland so everyone should cross their fingers and toes and send good vibes my way, please!! 28 likes on my Facebook page! Let's keep it up, and thank you to all those who read my work! -EJG Back to the grind today. The editing process takes such a long time, but I guess I'd rather do this now than have to do it all at the end. At least I'll have half of it edited so when the other half is finished it will be smooth sailing. Today I'd like to finish chapter 11 and get right into chapter 12. After I edit it all on paper, I have to go through and change everything I've written. It sounds like a lot but its not too bad really. Then its back to writing, thank god.
On another note, as most of you know from previous posts, I have handed in my dissertation. I wont get it back for another couple weeks but I think what I'll do is post it on my site so everyone can have a look. I wont post it before then because I don't know if its a conflict of interest as far as grading and republishing and that. We'll see! Also, for those of you who primarily follow my site, I also have a Facebook page: Guay Writing. This is a page dedicated to updates on my writing, posting my blog etc. If you get a chance have a look. And if you have more time, have a look at Sonja's page as well: Not of This World Writings. If you like my stuff and haven't checked hers out yet, I think you'll be in for a pleasant surprise! Her style is a little different than mine but I think if you're into the whole fantasy aspect of my writing you will certainly enjoy hers! -EJG I've been neglecting editing for a few days, went up north with a friend of mine to the beautiful town of Nairn. We did touristy things like Culloden and Fort George which was really really nice! Back to the grind now, though, I'm in the home stretch now, only chapters 11-14 to go!
Also, I handed in my dissertation on Friday so no more excuses! This will be the full focus of my life from now on! Well I'm back at it today... not much else to say about it really. Just looking forward to moving on with it.
I should do this more often, where I share stuff with my fans, so here is a great website that I've been using as background music/inspiration. 8 Tracks Its good stuff! The mix I'm listening to right now is called "Alice In Wonderland" its pretty good, especially for editing. I'll keep the updates coming as often as I can, I'm sure everyone's getting sick of them though; I know my mother is! =] -EJG |
