I have copy edits on IMMORTAL OUTLAW coming the first week in January. Those are the ones where you and the copy editor (not your “editor” at most houses, but a grammar-freak-with-a-red-pencil-for-hire) clean up your commas, fix mis-usages, find those dropped periods, and catch all your typos.
You hope.
I ran into this video from slam poet/comedian/teacher Taylor Mali over on Writers Technology Companion Today that is so funny–and so totally apropos–I had to post it. (Warning: NOT Safe For Work, unless you have on headphones)
The number of words my 13 year old wrote during the month of NaNoWriMo. Yeah, nearly 13 THOUSAND words. An 8th grader!
Of course, being 13, she didn’t bother to tell me she was even participating in NaNo, so I didn’t find this out until after the fact. But can you see the grin on my face?
Tomorrow, I’ll tell you what I’ve been up to the past couple of days, but I wanted to get this in and give my kid her due. Brava!
Leave a message for her in Comments and I’ll make sure she reads it.
