During January of our “Now What?” Months, we’re talking to Wrimos who’ve published their NaNoWriMo projects and asking them how they got there. Today, Angela Quarles, author of Must Love Breeches, shares her 7-step revision process… and the need to revise from big to little:
I know what you’re thinking. It’s a mess, right?
You rode the heady wave that is NaNoWriMo, pounding your way across the keyboard and your story, set on reaching the goal of 50,000 words before the month of November ended. And you did it!
And after you took the advice to let it sit for the month of December you’re now looking at in the full glare of January, and… you’re cringing. Some of you might even think it’s just too much to tackle and are contemplating trunking it and chalking it up to a good (or bad) experience.
Don’t.
My revision process posted on the Nanowrimo blog!

Must Love Breeches…
Great new review for Chainmail - “Let me tell you, the tale of the modern woman control freak and the medieval knight with the tarnished honor and strong, courageous heart hooked me in from the start and I couldn’t put it down. I was captivated by the blend of colorful historical backdrop, well-developed characters, and an exciting well-paced plot….This was a refreshing story. I tend to have certain expectations when it comes to Time Travel romance. Mostly, I notice that these stories tend to focus on the characters, plot, and even sci-fi aspect of the story with the settings in the past glossed over. This I forgive if the story is good. But in this book, I was thrilled to have my cake and eat it, too. The author put a lot of effort into making medieval Wales and even the set up for how the time-travel part of the romance conflict really work. Robert’s time and the way Katy was written in were convincing (at least to this non-scholar and amateur history lover).”
