My book rewrite is coming along well. My tentative deadline was June 15th, but the LORD didn’t see a need for it to be done so fast. Instead, I got sick and produced very little writing of any kind for a couple of weeks. Thankfully, I’m still about halfway through. My sister says the rewrite is a vast improvement, so that’s good. I have cut scenes, improved descriptions, changed sentences and toyed with nicknames for my characters. The result, I must confess, painful as it is, really is better. Passive sentences are probably what I’m fixing the most. That and extraneous material. I never knew how much better it would be if I changed those two. Especially passive sentences. LORD willing, I’ll have this stage of writing done by the end of June. All of this leaves me in a state excitement and expectation, as well as fighting a bit of apprehension. :)
As to the changes mentioned in the title. I’m planning to start posting again. I have quite a few book reviews coming up, if the LORD wills, a poem or two and I don’t know what else. The Phantom of the Opera and Red Rain are two books I hope to review in the coming weeks. I also plan to be putting up a few pages at the top of the site soon. The biggest change would be, however, that I am planning to redesign the blog. It might take some experimentation, but I hope to do it soon. As much as I love the way it looks now, it really is a bit out of place with Summer almost here. I don’t plan to make it seasonal this time. I think I’m ready for a “steady look”. We’ll see what I come up with! I suppose I better get brainstorming…
To the KING be all the glory!
Yay, the PotO. And Red Rain! I like that book! So glad to hear your story is improved, too. Also, can’t wait to see your new blog layout once you make it. :D

Pray I can come up with a good one! I want it to be very nice.
I’m liking Red Rain so far too! :D
