1. Editing without mercy. Removing all words that only prove I have a giant thesaurus on my desk. Sometimes they simply 'walked' into the room. Nothing more. Nothing less.
2. Dislike disingenuous writing workshops  designed to make money off false aspirations and opaque dreams.  Don't tell me I'm great if I suck. Seriously.

After two years, six drafts, three content edits, and five beta readers, it’s finally time. There are exactly 144 days until the official launch party of the Museum of Wayward Girls. Promise! Tessa is tired of waiting for the world to hear her story and all the shit that goes along with it.

To keep myself on track, I’ll posting here on a regular basis to give brief updates on how I’m progressing.

 I am prepping for a line by line edit for mid-November. I am on page 22 with a goal to be finished by mid-October – there are currently 265 pages.  This week is going to be amazing as my friend and artist, Mandy and I are having a creative healing pajama party to brainstorm imaging for the Museum of Wayward Girls. I’ll let you know how it goes.

Yours in faithful frivolity,
The Absinthe Minded Curator
