Editing

This is me.




This is my brain while editing.

(Actually, it's really my daughter, but that's what my brain looks like right now. Minus the smile. Imagine a gnarled lip instead.)



Enough said. Have a nice day. :)

You have just contravened seven different sections of the Amie Pact of 1797 by not prefacing that picture with a cuteness warning, class three. I nearly snorted my tea. It was not at all ladylike. That is all.

I love editing. It's writing the first draft that I'm not too fond of. That's definitely my first draft hairstyle . . . which I'm sporting right now. ;)

OMG, she is too cute!!! I guess I'm just echoing the sentiments of everyone else, but it has to be stated, lol. Also, that's how I feel right now, I still have the last two chapters to write of my wip and I've begun the editing/revision process on the first portion. I'm tired.

Spiral Staircase Cake

-

So I was super busy this past week creating a spiral staircase cake for a church youth activity.

Here's my creation:


Carving a spiral cake is pretty easy, I did it once before with a piano cake I made. Here's a photo of it:


Anyway, a spiral staircase was a bit trickier...Not only did I have to carve the spiral, but I had to do it in steps, instead of one smooth cut.

First I start by layering my cake, in this case two 10 inch rounds. Then I mark off, with toothpicks, where I want to make my cuts, like this:














Next, I carefully carve each layer. Like this:














Once that's complete, I give the cake a crumb coat. Then I carve the next layer (in this case two 12 inch rounds) and finally, the layers are stacked. Like this:



Then I covered the cake in one large piece of fondant. Im this photo, I had started the cobblestone path using an embossing tool courtesy of DUFF.


Then I assembled the rest of the cake, including my princesses made from rice krispies treats, covered in fondant/gum p…

Welcome Lehua Parker, author of One Boy, No Water! (and yeah, there's a Giveaway, too!)

Lehua is the author of a fun middle-grade read, One Boy, No Water which released on September 28th.  Her launch party was a huge success, with crowds of people waiting in line for a signed copy of her book!  She has graciously agreed to write a guest post today about her writing life.  I hope you'll put on your fuzzy slippers, warm up your drink and stay a bit!




Once a publisher makes the sign of the cross over your work, blessing it and pronouncing it fit for public consumption, a lot of people want to know about your writing process. It’s kinda like being the fat kid who suddenly loses a lot of weight; everybody wants to know how you did it, especially if all you ate were Cheetos and watermelon seeds and your cardio program consisted of dancing naked in the moonlight to a Johnny Cash soundtrack.

Wow. Think I just gave myself a nightmare!

Plotters want to read about how you outlined every nuance; pansters want to hear how the story grew organically into tightly woven plot. Everybo…

Cover Reveal for the All-New CINDERSKELLA!!

It has been a super long journey breathing new life into the cover, illustrations and story of Cinderskella. I'm super stoked to finally announce that the cover is now finished and guys - GUYS! It's aaaaahhhh-mazing!!!

Wait until you see it!

*FAINTS!*

I cannot even express what a talented artist Roch Hercka is. His work is above and beyond my wildest imagination. He truly makes my vision come to life and I cannot thank him enough for his hard work.

But what am I rambling about? Why don't you just see for yourself!

Ta-da!!



Isn't it phenomenal?! The details are so incredible. I feel like Cindy is a real-live person! And I'm immediately drawn into this strange and wonderful world. Is the world within the cemetery? Is the gate a portal? Who's that man in the background? And why is there a carnival in a cemetery? And are those eyeballs on the path? So many questions!

But. BUT! That'…
