Line Editing

Another great post on line editing from editor Gina Bernal at Romance University. She does a great job of dissecting the first two pages of a manuscript and explaining what doesn't work and how it could be fixed. I find it much harder to spot the flaws in my own work. Wish I had Gina looking over my shoulder as I do my editing!

Steampunk Down Under

On Saturday I joined an interesting Twitter chat about Steampunk Down Under. Lots of crazy ideas were exchanged like mad mechanical penguins, steampunk swimming costumes, and steampowered bush rangers a la Ned Kelly. Afterwards I hunted down some inspirational pictures on the internet.
