This is going to be a quick check-in because I’m still coming down with a cold and feel miserable. I can’t breathe normally and my throat is developing a tickle. I detest being sick!
I met Kelly at Barnes & Noble this afternoon to hand off “Blind Date Bride.”
While I was there, I decided to stay and write for a while before I headed in to work. I added about 500 more words to Meg & Matt’s still-untitled story. (Must work on that!)
My task for “Operation Treat Writing Like a Day Job” today? Query letters.
I sent out 3 more e-queries this morning. Unlike last week, no responses awaited me at the end of the day. But that’s OK. I didn’t expect them to.
Not sure what’s on the list for Saturday. Perhaps some writing on Meg & Matt. Then again, maybe not. I may have more pressing matters to attend to.
Once I got to the office this afternoon, it hit me: I’m going to need a synopsis and query letter for “Blind Date Bride.”
However, since I just finished the first draft, I’m wondering if I should wait. I’ve read it through a couple of times and still like it just the way it is … perhaps it’s time to wait for some outside feedback.
Queries and synopses are not my favorite things to write. Anyone out there really like doing them?
I started my new scene in “Blind Date Bride” last night after work and finished it this morning, as soon as I woke up. I didn’t even get out of bed — just hauled the laptop into bed with me and started banging away on the keys.
As Hannibal said in “The A-Team,” I love it when a plan comes together!
Now, it’s time for some printing and then passing my beloved first-born single-title novel off to one of my NARWA sisters …
These are both scary and exciting times, my friends.
It’s nearly 1:30 a.m. and I’m ready to leave work (after spending an hour playing Bejeweled and generally wasting time online).
Figured that if I post that I’m going to go home and write, I’ll actually do it. Right?
I actually had a great idea for an extra scene in “Blind Date Bride” on the drive up from the Boyfriend’s this morning. It was writing itself … and it’ll extend the post-black moment, pre-reunion part of the story that feels rushed every time I read it through.
So the plan is to head home now and start writing it. I don’t need to go to bed until 3 a.m. anyway! 😀
I also need to send out a couple of queries that I didn’t get around to doing on Monday.
