FINISHED THE BOOK!

OK, so I finished my latest book, or at least at the final polishing stages, and it feels so good! This one was a tough one to write. Learned lots of new techniques in it and it was a lot more complicated than my previous endeavors. So I'm particularly proud that I finished it! As I've been reading through it, it's still cracking me up so I think that's a good sign that I have a pretty fun finished product too.

*does a happy dance*

So after the RWA conference at the end of July, I will come back and start on book four. I love new projects. Hopefully I'll have that one done by Christmas, and then I'll start to feel like I'm building some actual inventory. Once I get published, I'll have more than one or two things to show an editor or agent, which makes me feel really great.

FF&P Contest

Blogger has been weirding out!!

FF&P Contest

I have not decided yet this year if I am going to enter the FF&P writing contest. Last year I had the same problem I usually have - one judge loved it, one judge hated it, then the tie breaker scored just low enough to keep me out of the finals. lol. I swear this has happened to me several times. Perhaps I have a writing style that people react strongly to, for good or for bad.

But since it is only $20 or so, I guess I don't have a whole lot to lose other than $20. One thing that is nice about the contest is that you get several sheets of commentary so you can see exactly what people are reacting to.

So the next question is: which book of mine to submit? I'm tempted to do the vampire one, but it is not as perfectly polished as my second book. Hmm. Must ponder.
