Today was a pretty unproductive day for writing. I had some cat issues to deal with, and I’ve been doing some apartment hunting.
So, unfortunately, I haven’t progressed much in the WIP. I have a feeling tomorrow will be the same unless I try to wake up earlier than usual and do some writing before work.

With less than a quarter of the WIP left to write, I’ve been doing a little agent research. I’m using several online tools and putting the agents I find interesting into an Excel spreadsheet. When I’m ready to start querying (and I’ve already worked on the query letter), I’ll have all my info ready. Then, […]

Today was a beautiful day. Spring has arrived! I was having trouble staying in the stuffy office this afternoon so I took an hour break to get outside. I strolled over to Bryant Park and basked in the sun while reading Tithe by Holly Black and scribbling plot notes about my WIP.
It was very relaxing […]

Happy Earth Day everyone.

After my rant post last week about writers actually writing every day, I had to take a little time off this weekend due to way too many obligations at once. I was able to write a few hundred words on Saturday, but I took both Friday and Sunday off from writing. Bad me. But I […]
