I can't remember the last time I got to sleep in every day of the week, and for three weeks!
Yep, still on the unemployment wagon, but at least I can see what it feels like to be a full-time author during my empty days. And hey, I got my FBF revisions done in a week, so that's something! Waiting back on beta readers for that one, and excited to query. Very excited, actually. I feel really good about this one.
Started outlining book seven, or what will hopefully be book seven. I feel like "gods" are starting to be overdone in fantasy, but hopefully my spin will be a little different. :)

Sometimes it feels like a long time waiting for beta readers to finish. Preps one to wait for responses from agents/editors :)
ReplyDeleteI miss sleeping in! Congrats on the new book. I hope the querying goes well.

ReplyDeleteThanks for the links, Charlie, especially the interesting one about cussing. I've been struggling with that one because I have a character (YA manuscript) who wants to cuss. I struggle with whether I should let him since I TRY not to do it myself. :)
ReplyDeleteI've got the same issue going on. While I'm not a huge fan of cussing, it does seem, to a point, necessary to pull off a convincing character, especially if that character's a teenaged boy.
