Updates

I got an email from a lit agent telling me I should join some writing groups. He's the first one to actually tell me something I can do to improve my writing! I'll happily do that, and I'll also stop sending out queries until I edit it, yet again...I sent out one that I didn't have anything attached to, because they said they didn't want anything attached to it...I wonder if I can get it edited before they respond, if they even want to see it.

Also, in the actual WRITING department of being a future author, I have been working on my new story. I wrote more than 2k today, which is what I used to write every day for my first book, so I'm happy! Plus, this story isn't going to be a full length book. If I wrote 2k every day, I think I could get it finished by the end of the month. But, since I'll probably edit mine instead, I may take a longer time to finish it. I dont' know how long it's going to be. It'll be anywhere from 20k to 40k words I think. Depending on the length, I'll write a few more stories and then have a short story collection. I think it's going to be closer to 20k, but this is only the first draft, and I must say...it's not amazing. I would be mortified if it got published.

So, I must go, because it's almost 2 in the morning, I really want to open up my book now and edit it all night long, but I think I'm going to turn off my laptop and try to get some sleep. operative word being TRY. I'll let myself start working if I'm up at 3...yah that'll work!

Bye for now!

Ideas, Ideas, Ideas

So, some of you may know I'm bad at having one idea and sticking to it--which is extremely helpful. I've had plenty of ideas and I'm currently writing 2 or 3 different ones...at once. But right NOW, I'm playing sims. I got a laptop, which will help since I can work anywhere, and almost all of my documents are on here, thankfully! a few, sadly, aren't on here yet...I must go now, but I'll talk later!
