I'm at it again!

I'm excited! For me, writing is living. And now that I've completed (hopefully) the last edit of my novel I'm ready to start the sequel. It feels like Christmas time!

Some of you may remember when I was writing the aforementioned novel last year. I started it on June 1st and finished it on August 3rd. Well, by shear coincidence, I started the sequel yesterday--June 1st.

The major difference between last year and this year is that I wasn't working forty hours a week. I had the whole summer to write. And I would get up early, have coffee, drive to my university library, and write for eight hours straight. I treated writing like a job--a FUN one though.

At the end of each week, I posted my progress. I hope to do that this time too, but I fear it's going to move much slower. Oh, how wonderful it would be to have another summer off for writing.

By the way, my query letter has been out for one week. The agent's response time is 3-4 weeks. I'm holding my breath. Every time I check my e-mail my heart beats faster and I have to turn away from my laptop for fear of vomiting all over the keyboard.

  • 8 hours. I can't believe it. No shit, the concept is mind boggling. If I could put in more than an hour at a time, I feel like I'd be unstoppable. You amaze me. Good luck.
