Revising by Janice Seagraves

 I've been revising the next book in the Chronicles of Arcon series.

Yesterday, I went through and changed all the "shrugs". Not as many as I was afraid it was.

Then I looked up all the "looked" and it was a lot. I changed them to glanced, gaze, stare, and only kept like ten "look" that was in sentences like, "look, I'm only going to..."

Lastly, I looked for felt and feel. Sadly, I used more than I thought I did. And I know better!

Next, I'm working on "and"...and it's a lot, too.  :( 

Keep an eye out for the next book in the Chronicles of Arcon series. Coming soon.

It's the Season!

 

Autumn, oh, Autumn how I love you. Out of the four seasons, fall is the best season. You may disagree but I can say that you are wrong. Sorry. So, why have I fallen for fall? For numerous reasons and those reasons are:  

1. The season is made for books. It’s the perfect weather to curl up in a chair and lose yourself in a book.
2. Sweater Weather. Sweaters are cozy and can feel like a hug.
3. The cool, crisp weather. The very air brushes against your cheek and has your body at the perfect temperature so you’re not sweating or forced to wear a bulky coat. 
4. The changing leaves are nature’s painting—vibrant in a way that reminds me of a lovely fire. 
5. Hot chocolate. Some might say this is the season of pumpkin spice and it is everywhere. But I hate pumpkin and most definitely pumpkin spice. Yuck! But if you are a lover of the P.S. then you are overjoyed. 
6. Halloween. I’m not a big fan of dressing up in costumes but I love watching the horror movies and the bags of candy that I buy to hand out but end up eating so I must replenish the supply. 

What about Autumn do you like? Did I list your favorite aspect of the season or do you have something to add?
