Photo courtesy of iStockPhotoI've been quiet for some time over here, not to mention my Lisa Logan Twitter account and other web spots. I'm not gone, though! I've just been hard at work focusing on accounts under my pen name J. Rose Allister. I've decided to streamline things by closing out duplicate accounts, this blog included. Don't worry, I'll leave up all existing posts as an archive.

It's the final week of NaNoWriMo.org's national novel writing challenge, and eager writers are frantically tapping keys in hopes of hitting the 50k goal by the 30th!Hitting the goal means typing an *average* of 1667 words daily, and those following that plan should cross the 40k mark today. Some will have fewer words and can catch up with a big burst of word count at the end, and others will

Many are writing/reading/publishing-related, naturally, but I'm also part of numerous gardening, regional, spiritual, and homeschooling groups as well. Do I have time to read these? Nope.

Where the heck have I been?! You might be asking. Okay, it might not have dawned on you that I've been gone from the blog, in which case never mind. Otherwise, I've spent the past couple of months on the usual editing/writing stuff, PLUS helping film and edit a short horror film, DEATH DO US PART. And just in time for your horrific Halloween entertainment, here it is! Rated R for ragin' zombie.

Still, I see writers asking on groups every week how to

Warning, some adult themes in this post. Yes, before you ask, that's really ME in the photo. Of course, I don't always look like this, but there are days...ah, but I'm getting ahead of myself.When you open a book or send off your latest submission, ever stop to wonder what life is like on the editor's end of things? What dark secrets loom behind glazed expressions and uninspired form letters?
