This morning, I prepared mailings to some local libraries, offering the a free book as well as my availability for events. I'll be dropping those at the post office this afternoon, and then I'll see where it goes.
Making HUGH progress on "T... more

The Quest for Perfection by Kathryn Flatt 10/7/2013 6:29:36 AM
Reading "Where Power Lies" from the back to the front this morning, and doing this way does seem to help me find things. I've also had a few snippets of ideas occur to me at odd moments during the weekend, just details to tweak the setting a bit. I a... more

Word Pictures by Kathryn Flatt 10/4/2013 9:19:33 AM
Working on "Treasure of Mongan Manor" today, and it's such fun describing the images I have in my head about the title residence. When I left off yesterday, Stefanie was still a day away from her trip into the Wisconsin countryside, and I wasn't sure... more

Trying to Stay Focused by Kathryn Flatt 10/3/2013 6:39:02 AM
While "Where Power Lies" sits waiting for another proofreading, I've decided to concentrate for the rest of the week on "The Treasure of Mongan Manor," where things are heating up. I'm in the easy-flow stages of this one, where the ideas keep coming ... more

Moving Forward by Kathryn Flatt 10/2/2013 8:17:40 AM
After a few days of hiatus from writing, I'm back on it today and moving forward on "The Treasure of Mongan Manor," volume 3 of the Windsong Lake books. I'm about to get into the real meat of the story, and I've had some good ideas about one sequence... more

The Blahs by Kathryn Flatt 10/1/2013 10:23:23 AM
Been a bit under the weather lately and just not in the mood to work on anything much. It happens sometimes.
Bookfest 2013 is over and done. I didn't sell a single book, although I saw other authors all around me selling theirs. I'm now doi... more

Plot Change Already? by Kathryn Flatt 9/27/2013 6:08:39 AM
All ready for Bookfest tomorrow, apart from getting some small bills for change. This morning, I printed more business cards, a couple more brochures, and some signs. I packed up books and got all my paraphernalia together, ready to go. I will be in ... more

Fun Stuff by Kathryn Flatt 9/26/2013 6:26:28 AM
"Where Power Lies" got its final trim and is now just under 80,000 words. It'll take another proofreading before I consider it done, though. All that cutting could have created more errors. I'll attack that after another rest period.
Making ... more

Busy, Busy by Kathryn Flatt 9/25/2013 6:56:38 AM
I spent some time this morning making up brochures for Bookfest this weekend. I made 15 so far and may make some more.

Another Milestone by Kathryn Flatt 9/23/2013 6:21:24 AM
This morning, I wrote a first draft of a synopsis for "Where Power Lies." How to tell the same story on two double-spaced pages that I used 82,000 words for to begin with? Surprisingly, the more I do this exercise, the easier it gets. I may continue ... more

Proofing One More Time by Kathryn Flatt 9/19/2013 6:28:19 AM
Finished the first chapter of the new Windsong Lake book and started on Chapter 2. The issues I had with the status of Stefanie and Paul's relationship resolved it self very neatly, always a gratifying experience. I started thinking more about the ac... more

Feeling My Characters by Kathryn Flatt 9/18/2013 8:50:29 AM
Almost through the first chapter of the new Windsong Lake book, "Mongan Manor." I'm fairly sure the opening scene I was agonizing about yesterday will stay in because it has a purpose. It sets the location, the players, that there is conflict in Stef... more

New Book and Other Progress by Kathryn Flatt 9/17/2013 6:26:54 AM
I spent some time this morning on promotional materials for Bookfest on September 28. I revised a booklet I had made a while back, a brochure of my novels with other information, and ran a couple of tests. Larger type made it easier to read, and I up... more
