Well, hello there, Stranger... Wednesday, December 20, 2006 |
Well hey there!
I realize it's been about 45 years since I last wrote on here... Okay, not 45 years but a really long time.
I realized a few minutes ago that it was almost a year ago exactly that I decided to start this blog to write about my book. It's scary to think that A) I've been writing this blog for that long but B) That I'm still not done with this flippin' book yet!
That's right, I'm not done yet. But I am making progress. And considering that I've re-written the first part of the book twice, I think I'm doing okay. I wanted to be done by Christmas, but a bout of laziness has hit me in the last week or so and I haven't gotten anything done.
I did finally get that laptop I was talking about though, which has really helped with my writing. I just need to make myself do it, but with that laziness and whatnot, it just hasn't happened this month.
I'm feeling ready good about where I'm headed with the book, and I'm super excited about writing the finals scenes, which as noted before, I've been planning for a year!
Also, in the last few months I've nailed down what can possibly happen in the next three books in the series, assuming that an agent wants them. Crazy, huh? Just a few little ideas led to all of that.
So the plan is to get this book out to an agent early in the new year, and hopefully get this book sold, and hopefully more.
Until then though, I've already got a few ideas for other books that I'm going to start working on while this book is out to agents.
One that's been tinkering around in my head is another Young Adult, but a little older than the one I'm working on now. I really want to write a fun book, because of how complicated this one has turned out to be. So that one is going to be about a really quirky family. That's really all I know right now, but I'll let you know when I know. :)
So those are my plans for next year. Write, write, write.
In fact, I'll be writing even more because I plan on taking on some freelance writing jobs. So it's a good thing I got this laptop, since it's basically turning into another appendage!
Anyway, this week is going to be nuts with Christmas coming up, but after that I promise that I'll be back here, keeping you guys updated on me, ((finally!)) finishing this book, sending it out to agents, hopefully getting a deal, and then writing some more!
Have a GREAT Christmas everyone. I'll be back here in January.
