Hello, writerly friends, and welcome to another installment of What's Up Wednesday. WUW is a blog hop created by Jaimi Morrow and Erin Funk to keep writers connected and encouraged. For more information, check this out.
What I'm Reading: This week's read was UNDER THE NEVER SKY...
I gotta say, while I love a good dystopian, this one just felt a little too familiar to me. There isn't enough that's different about it to grab me.
What I'm Writing: Last week-
This week-
So, not the 5K I dreamed about, BUT I did A LOT of editing on my MG Sci-Fi UNDER THE BLUE, which I entered in Sun vs. Snow.
What Works for Me- I thought of something! When editing, I like to copy and paste a chapter at a time into www.hemingwayap.com. That way robot eyes can check for passive voice, adverbs, and super long sentences. Just yesterday I learned about www.editminion.com, which is the same sort of thing but checks for even more stuff.
What else is going on: I entered Sun Vs. Snow this week, so I have been editing HARDCORE.
This is my FACE after removing 70+ instances of the word FACE from my MS. Look out JUST and APPARENTLY. I'm coming for ya.
Hope you had a great week!
