STATUS – 9.11.2024 –

Hello and good morning.

It’s been nearly five days since I was able to sit and write. Just been busy, you know, and when you’re parenting and trying to be a writer you have to make the tough decision when you should get up early to write (like I do) or when you need to sleep that extra hour and a half because the day is going to be long and full of lots of driving and you won’t have time for a midday nap and maybe having that extra cup of coffee in the afternoon is actually bad for your heart and this is why you’re going in for a Coronary CT scan so perhaps chill it on the caffeine.

Sleep is good.

Don’t be too hard on yourself.

PROJECT UPDATE:

#AMQUERYING – Haven’t taken the time to find new agents for Project GREY, just yet, but that’s on the list. NESS has some agents I could send to, but I just need to park myself and send them.

BIANCA – Edits are going strong on the fifth and final draft of this middle grade contemporary fantasy. Spent all my writing days last week trying to break down the first two chapters into one opening chapter, leaving the reader/prospective agent with a cliffhanger to show what the book is really about, while also introducing enough concepts that make the world work to get them intrigued, AND ALSO be done by page 10. I’ve gotten it down to page 11. I want to die.

CURRENTLY LISTENING:

This song makes me cry if I listen to it hard enough.
