So, today was a good day. I’ve made some progress in the writing world that I’m very happy with.
Here’s everything I accomplished today.
1. Went back and edited everything I had for Clash. I’d originally written it in first person, then changed all the pronouns to third person. It needed some editing though, and I went [...]

Hmm.
So, I was talking to one of my fellow writing buddies tonight about a possible change to the title of Teen Ghost. First, I had an agent at AgentFest recommend I change the title. Second, I saw a book called Ghostgirl at Barnes & Noble this past weekend. Sitting all prominent on the YA New [...]

I’ve shared my novel’s progress. I’ve shared my pitch results. I’ve shared my woes and my wheees(!) during the whole agent querying process. But I’ve only really ever given little tidbits of information about what it is exactly that I write and what my novels are about.

I didn’t write as much this week as I had planned or wanted. Things have been quite busy and hectic these days, and I’m managing to carve out only a little time for writing. I’m still carving it out, but I don’t have the two or three hours per day that I need. I’m hoping [...]

I’m a big proponent of writing regularly. As in every day. But sometimes a girl needs a night off.
Last night, I was tired. I’ve been having some trouble with a knee due to an unfortunate fall on a particularly sporty Father’s Day extravaganza. After doing some grad school stuff after a day of working in [...]

I was sitting here taking a quick break from the WIP, and I was trying to come up with a blog post for the day. Unfortunately, nothing came to mind other than today’s experiences with the world of agents and writing.
First, nudging. To do or not to do? I think this depends on the agent. [...]
