It's the end of the week, so it's time to Celebrate the Small Things...
What am I celebrating this week?
I know it was a short week, but I'm still glad it's the weekend. I don't have a lot planned, so looking forward to doing some reading and writing. I've been a little obsessed over the last few weeks with a really old story I wrote - one of the first novels I ever finished. I'm really not sure if there is anything I can salvage from it, but the characters keep whispering to me and I'm wondering if there is something there I can work with.
It's a book that never really worked because it spans two time periods - the present where the MC is in her first year of college, and the past where she's 10. So it's not really YA, not really MG, not really adult... I'm wondering about losing the college storyline and approaching the story from the past from the POV of one of the other characters who is a teenager. I've read a few books where the narrator of the story is not the MC, but someone else who observes that character's journey and I'm thinking that might be something to play around with.
Maybe I'm just having all the feels from having read Bridge of Clay again.... What a book that is. I knew I loved it when I read it a few year back, but I think I've loved it even more the second time around.
Also celebrating having sent out a new batch of Guide Us queries - only one rejection so far...
What are you celebrating this week?
Sometimes the really old ones still have something special about them! Rereading may very well bring a flash of inspiration. Have a good weekend.
