One day until Gen Con

Gen Con tomorrow! Woo-hoo!

I finished my third revision last night. I added some details to the ending and hopefully it will make it feel more complete. Endings are sometimes difficult for me because I don't want my story to end. The world doesn't stop moving on in my head even when the story has to come to an end. It's important to know when to end a story. Dragging it on too long will bore the reader. Cutting it short will leave the reader feeling dissatisfied. I considered adding an epilogue to A Lion's Heart, but I don't think it needs it. Everything was tied up neatly at the end. At least I hope it is. I will have to get my critique partners' opinions and find myself a few beta readers who know paranormal romantica well.

I've got errands to run and cleaning to do. Packing will be done this evening. My husband has been gone these past few days and hopefully he'll be home early this evening to help out. I know anything I put into something will be immediately taken out by a small child.

I'm over halfway done with my third revision. It's going smoothly this time. No problem with deciding how I want to separate it into chapters. I think I will be adding a lot to the ending, though. There's little details that I mentioned in the meat of the story that need to be addressed at the end. I also have a tentative title: A Lion's Heart. I'm not wild about it. I would be willing to change it if the publisher wants to do so. Yet I like how it can be taken a couple of ways.

It's been a busy weekend. I'm trying to get all the errands and housework done before we leave for Gen Con on Thursday morning. Yet we did have a lovely afternoon at McCormick's Creek yesterday.

He's so dang adorable!)
