I had a pretty good writing weekend and finished chapters four and five. I feel like everything is moving more slowly than I want it to, but I think it will work. The situation Devon is in does unfold slowly and I feel like it's realistic, the way it's happening. Hopefully, anyway...
So my goal this week is to keep working on it. I know I have stuff on this weekend so I won't get the full six or so hours I had this weekend, but hopefully I can finish chapter six during the week and move on to chapter seven.
I submitted my query and first five pages of A Stranger to Kindness to a contest in the hope of getting some good feedback on them. I've had really good feedback from this contest before, so fingers crossed. I'll wait until after that's finished to start querying. Plus, the MS is still with a few readers, so I'd love their feedback before I start on that journey.
Still no update from my publisher on a date for Standing Too Close coming out. I emailed again at the end of February and haven't had a reply yet. I'm going to give it another week, then I'm going back to them again. Even if they are backed up in editing, I like a long lead time to get my publicity and reviewers lined up, so they could give me a date toward the end of the year. I just need to know what it is.
And that's about it for me this week. What are your goals?
I'm glad you had a good writing week. I've had a lot of blog work which took up my writing time. I'm hoping to revise a chapter that was critiqued this week.
