I didn't get much work done on my book over the weekend because I forgot that I'd signed up to do a 48 hour short story contest, so most of my writing time was taken up writing my story for that. But I don't mind because it was fun. We had to include three objects - a gun, a daisy and a canoe - set a scene on the beach, and have one character rob a bank. Quite a lot to fit into a story between 1,000 and 3,000 words.
But I managed. I'll find out next week if I win.
So this week I need to get my head back into the book. It's a long weekend, so I took Friday off work to be able to have four days off and will use Friday as a writing day. I know it hasn't been long since I last had some writing days, but I kind of feel like I wasted them writing all that stuff I've ended up throwing away.
After not getting a lot of rejections last week, I've three in the last 24 hours, two of which were from agents that really sounded like they were looking for my book. So that's disappointing. On the plus side, I still have a few queries out, and my list of agents still to query is long. I guess I might need to tweak the query again.
What are your goals this week?
