Hello Everyone!
I'm currently working on my first fiction project, which also happens to be my first project over 100 pages. I recently finished the rough draft and will work on a revision after the birth of my first child (any day now as of June 25, 2011).
I'm currently searching for tips, tricks, and process suggestions for:
1. revising a larger project
2. building relationships with English-language writers - tough since I live in Germany.
I also write a blog about my daily life to keep in touch with family and friends: http://pickles-and-onions.blogspot.com/
Hope to hear from you soon!
Nicole

"I found plotting out all of the scenes on post-its and then arranging them on the floor helped me keep moving. That and I told myself that the rough draft was suppose to be crap. :)"

I do the classic Hatha Yoga. One should start with the basics. Although there are over 8000 postures in Hatha Yoga, it is considered the basics. Do you do yoga too?
I am sitting at my computer trying to will myself to recall all those amazing sentences that visit me when I don´t have a pen.
Have a great day,
Kay
