Mockingjay comes out tomorrow! I cannot wait to find out how the trilogy ends. For me, it's all about the romance. Any guesses as to who Katniss will end up with? The suspense is killing me!
I've mentioned before that I've received some incredible critiques of Killing Kessler from my wonderful beta readers. Let's just say, there's still a lot of work to be done! So I'm going to be taking some time off to really concentrate on getting through this (hopefully!) last round of revisions. Just a couple of things before I go...
For those of you who read my Guess That Character Blogfest entry, I should have mentioned in my reveal that that actor is Ed Speleers, who played Eragon. Here he is again, in case you forgot what he looks like.
And don't worry if you didn't win an ARC in Carolina Valdez Miller's 7 ARC Contest, because now she's giving away ARCs Galore. Seriously, there's a whole lot of ARCs up for grabs here, so don't miss out - contest ends September 6.
Also, if you've followed me and I haven't followed you back, please let me know so I can pay you a visit and keep up with all my bloggy friends.
That's it for me folks. See you soon!
Awww good luck with your writing and your beta reading work!!!!

Can't wait for Mockingjay either - and no guesses from me - I just want to enjoy what Collins' creates :)
ReplyDeleteI know you will do just fine with the revisions and we'll be waiting for you!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your revisions! I'm just getting started with mine (oh boy, it's going to take forever to finish).
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to get my copy of Mockingjay - I'm going to be at the bookstore when it opens to make sure they don't sell out:)
I'm liking the way you're thinking, Susan! I too am counting down the hours before Mockingjay shows up on my doorstep tomorrow. :o)
ReplyDeleteAnd I can't wait to see what you do with Kessler, especially the beginning!
Have a nice, fun, productive time off! I know how revisions go... but you'll do great! :)
ReplyDeleteI have Mockingay on preorder and can't wait until it arrives. Suzanne Collins is going to be in Brookline (near to Cambridge) in a week. I'm trying to decide if I'll go.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with revisions.
The guy in Eragon is cute. The movie could've been better though.
Have a great, productive break!!
ReplyDeleteSuper! I think the best kind of breaks are the productive ones! Go, Susan! Get this baby finished. Can't wait!
ReplyDeleteAnd thank you for the contest mention! <3 Good luck!
I can NOT wait for Mockingjay either!
ReplyDeleteYou go, girl. Proud of you.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE revisions but seem to be one of a minority.

Going to buy Mockingjay tomorrow! Can't. Wait!!
ReplyDeleteI'm thanking you now.
ReplyDeleteHappy reading and revising, Susan...I'm sure you're going to be doing it in that order. LOL!
ReplyDeleteHave a great revision time, Susan. I'll look forward to your return.
ReplyDeleteI'm buying Mockingjay, too ... the whole trilogy in fact. :) So excited!
Amy
I feel like there's a massive Mockingjay brainwashing going on. EVERYONE is reading it...'cept me. (sigh) how much longer can I hold out?
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your revisions!!! That's never the fun part, but it's really worth it in the end. Missed you and your blog!!!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with this round of revisions, Susan! I'm sure your ms will be that much stronger for all the revisions you're doing!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy Mockingjay! I can't wait till it's my turn either. My oldest teen gets to go first. *sigh*
ReplyDeleteI'm in my 8th revision and my book is way better now because of my betas, so u go girl!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your revisions! And I'm definitely going to look into the Hunger Games and Mockingjay - I had not idea about it until 2 days ago!
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely weekend!;)
Happy revising! And enjoy Mockingjay when you get it.
ReplyDeleteYou won my 4 books giveaway!
So... did you enjoy the book?
ReplyDeleteOh, girl. Tackle those revisions! I just revised the heck out of my first novel and it was tough--but kind of satisfying...like shaving my legs. (;
ReplyDeleteHere is passing lots of good vibes your way! I know revisions can be consuming but, when it's done it's going to be great!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the break and Mockingjay! I have a copy, but I haven't read it yet; I'm in the middle of a trilogy right now.
ReplyDeleteGood for you, focusing on your manuscript. When I'm doing my final revisions, checking for flow and everything else, I feel like uninterrupted blocks of time are ideal. I wish you luck with your revisions!
hey Susan. sounds great, hope you enjoy your break!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with revisions susan!!! It'll feel good once they're done, then you can join the agent stalking community ;)

ReplyDeletepeace.
Miss you! (I hope editing is going well.)
ReplyDelete:o)
I think editing was invented by evil crows. It is definitely NOT my favorite thing. Necessary, I know. Still, not my favorite. Good luck with yours an' I hope you'll be back online with us soon.
ReplyDelete~ Yaya
