I've been hard at work participating in the Summer Revision Smackdown with the ultra-hip writer Jolie Stekly and Readergirlz diva Holly Cupala.  These girls are cracking the licorice whip as we all try to revise, revise, revise.  This Smackdown comes at a great time for me.  Back in the spring, Fewiel & Friends acquired my second novel and I'm polishing it till it shines.

Check out my revision tips on Vibe and Voice over at Cuppa Jolie cuppajolie.blogspot.com/.  Jolie's just fantastic. It was really generous of her to spend some of her valuable writing time to keep the rest of us encouraged.  Also, be sure to check out a "boy-did-I-need-to-hear-that"  tip from NORTH OF BEAUTIFUL's author Justina Chen Headley over on Holly's blog brimstonesoup.blogspot.com/ .
