Tip of the Day: Like zombie books and literary fiction? You must read THE DEAD-TOSSED WAVES by Carrie Ryan!
Is it that time again already? By gum, it is! Time to see how I'm doing on my March goals as written in January:
March -- Complete first draft of SS
Oi. OK, I am so off track from where I thought I'd be -- yet in a good way! Since the end of February, I've been deep in revisions for an editor who requested them. Spot-on revision suggestions that have been improving my middle-grade novel, BAKE, so much.
On top of that, I don't think I'll get back to SS until fall. This spring and summer, after I turn in these BAKE revisions to my agent, I'll be first drafting PforF, a new idea that I got the agent thumbs up on.
So it's all good stuff. And it is interesting to see the direction my writing life is going compared to the way I thought it would be a mere three months ago.
What fun surprises have come up in your writing world this month?

This is exactly why I resist goal lists and outlines. Of course they can be good things as long as you don't feel guilty when you change them.
ReplyDeleteI would've liked to have the first draft of my WIP done by August 1, but I'm realizing now that it will be a better novel if I take my time with it instead of setting an arbitrary date. So hurray for change and flexibility.
