Trying to get to the halfway point!
@ Thursday, Sep. 06, 2007 - 09:01:31Hi, All!
I'm really trying hard to get to the halfway point (25,000 words) of a YA novel I'm attempting for a competition that Random is sponsoring. I'm having great fun, but I'm not sure it's really much different from my adult stuff, except perhaps my characters don't mull over their decisions as much. I've having great fun with the action adventure aspect - haven't worked on one of those for a while.
Gray Beginnings has gone to Cerridwen Press, and will be published sometime next year, along with The Hollowing. That gives me 3 with them, which I like to think of as my minimum with any one publisher. That means I owe Linden Bay Romance one more book, and Five Star two, but I'm working on it.
I'm going to try to have Art & Soul seriously considered by one of the romance giants. I'm not sure how well I do in the romance field, though I generally pull 4 to 5 star reviews. Cross your fingers. I'll be sending it off tomorrow or Monday.
I want BoneSong out next week as well, but that's a major rewrite. Writes and rewrites at the moment. I have an erotic short I want to force out by the end of September, too. Yikes!
Back to chocolate ice cream for breakfast and work, work, work!
Cheers, and best wishes,
