The good times are over — for now …
Well, I knew it couldn’t last. Over the holidays and the last few weeks, I’ve been lazing around –Â reading books, watching my A-Team DVDs, cleaning out my basement. Basically waiting around for the publishing folks and everyone else to get over the holiday madness and get back to work.
Yesterday, I got some thoughts on revisions for my Assassin book from my agent. Which is good because I’m out of my holding pattern. And bad because it means I have to get back to work now, too. Sigh.
Ah, well. The sooner I finish it, the sooner is will (hopefully!) sell. :bub:
Ideally, I’d like to send the revised Assassin book back to my agent and finish a rough draft of my second Spy book by the end of January. We’ll see how that goes.
What about you? What do you want to accomplish this month?
This month it would be nice to finish my wip — but that depends on my CPs, who are reading a few chapters a week and have half the book to go. I thought about sending the book out now, but they see stuff I don’t see and I’d rather wait a month than send out and be sorry.
I will start my new book. I’m getting excited about it. It’s a middle grade — which means it’s shorter! And it will be first person, something I’ve never done.
I’m looking forward to reading your spy books. Sounds like another fun series.
Edie — I think I’m going to scale back and just concentrate on revisions this month myself. Gotta get those done before I do anything else.
I didn’t know you were writing young adults. Is this a new idea? Or is that the market you’re targeting with your current WIP?
