2 Book Ideas on back burner
Between the decision to go back to school and volunteer time with James' school, my writing time has severely suffered. In an effort to keep me moving forward, I will now be posting exactly what I have completed each week actually writing. This is not including any so called research. Reading a million YA books will never get my own written, although I wish it could sometimes. Buried in a book is a great place to be! This also does not include the time I spend over obsessing about the agent I do not have...yet!
Here's where I stand at this moment. I am working on Day Clear (a running title I like, but am still unsure of). It is a lot of fun and pays great tribute to the five years I lived in Germany. First Touch of Dark is currently with Amy, otherwise known as Superwoman, who makes everything look effortless. Hopefully she has completely ripped it apart. I love brutal honesty. It has done nothing but improve the book so far. The other projects are just waiting to be picked up. Finishing book two is priority one right now. Which really means I should get done with chapter 3. (LOL) I am also debating the idea of submitting some shorter work to journals. Any thoughts on this?
In other words, feel free to harass me about playing on Facebook or any of my other outlandish addiction that keep me distracted from actually writing. I also want to give a shout out to Literary Agent Jennifer Jackson for her 'letters from the query war', which gave me the idea of accountability in my writing. Thanks!
