Write Now '11
July has been a productive month so far. I have written every single day, a huge accomplishment. In fact, I am taking a quick break to write this, so it will be a short post.
In addition to my new piece (working title BRIGHTER THAN THE SUN), I'm once again going over CLOUD 9. I've cleaned up sentences, killed a few darlings, and made some significant changes that address some feedback I received from an agent earlier this year.
I saw a quote this week -- I wish I could remember where -- that said something along the lines of this: if you continue to be rejected, it's not the query that needs work, it's the manuscript. Point taken. I should be back in querying mode by next week.
My other work-in-progress, which still needs a new title, sadly continues to collect dust. August, dear middle child, I promise.
Side note: Playing on Toad's radio right now -- Secondhand News by Fleetwood Mac. Great song.
