Weekly Update: 10/11-10/17

I had another fantastic writing week!  I wrote over 12,000 (that's the lowest I ever want the weekly total to be, for sure).

I'm writing the most exciting parts of Project Jane right now!  The bad guys have shown their true colors, the good guys are still sorting things out... And there are about to be a LOT of twists from left field!!

I drafted my first query (letter to an agent, asking for representation).  I think I'm going to enter it in Kody Keplinger's contest.

I really have to say, again, that twitter is a HUGE help when I'm looking for motivation.  Just to sign on and see that there are other writers out there working on novels, struggling with procrastination, hitting roadblocks and working through them... It's a really fantastic community.

As always, I have to also give props to the hubster.  He's willingly given up mucho QT with me so that I can bang this project out.  He's the absolute best husband ever.  And if I just so happen to be the next megahit with my novels?  Well, maybe I'll buy him an island or something, as a small token of my enormous appreciation for everything he's done to make this possible!

  1. I hope to hear in the future you have bought yourself an island! And why not...you certainly seem to have the bull by the horns.

    Very impressed with your word count by the way. Some weeks I've been known to write, well, nothing actually :)
