Novel #1 was about a 40-ish year old man. Novel #2 is going to be about a 17 year old girl. Obviously more towards my age and gender side of the spectrum. I want to get a broad range. We'll see how this goes. The last one had a paranormal element to it. This one isn't going to.
So the steps ahead of me now: Edit novel #1. Keep brainstorming novel #2. Give 1 to beta readers and begin work on 2. Hopefully start submitting 1 to agents and finish work on 2. Also a screenplay and a kids picture book and a short story collection somewhere in there would be cool.
Also a cute boy who wants to kiss my face and a stable job and a tortoise named Watson. Those things would be cool too.
Just sayin :)

I don't think those things are too much to ask :-) Best of luck!
ReplyDeleteAw, what a cute turtle! You definitely deserve that and everything else. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteWatson takes priority. No questions asked. :D
ReplyDeleteBest of luck with your writing and editing! Just remember, you've done it once. You can do it 50 more times!!
You've got a good start going! You're right to give yourself time to figure it all out.
ReplyDeleteOh, and kiss the turtle. He may be a prince!
Watson = ftw. :-)
ReplyDeleteWe all work differently and how you work suites you best. I'm not a particularly quick worker when it comes to writing. In fact January has been a slow month.
ReplyDeleteI'd love a tortoise!
Slow and steady sometimes wins the race.
ReplyDeleteInteresting that you are writing a book with a middle-aged man as your protag. That's kind of cool and definitely a rarity I think.
ReplyDeleteWill novel #2 be young adult or just adult with a teenage protagonist?
ReplyDeleteThat's a GREAT list!! Keep plugging away at it!!
ReplyDeleteMaybe you'll meet a cute agent who likes to kiss you, edits your current WIPs, and has a turtle named "Mason." He'll fall so madly in love with you that he'll change Mason's name to "Watson" and that'll be that :)
ReplyDeleteThey say slow and steady wins the race. Keep goin! :)
