I think I've figured out which version of the book I'm going to go with. Annoyingly, it's my original version so most of the stuff I ended up writing last week is going on the scrap-heap. I figured that if it was going to take until chapter 11 or 12 for my characters to meet anyway, I might as well go back to the original. So I've made the new stuff fit with that version and I'm still at around 31K.
It's a little irritating that this is the way it's worked out, because I now feel like I kind of wasted my week off re-writing stuff that didn't need be re-written. If I'd trusted what I was doing, I would have been much deeper into the story by now.
Consider this a lesson learned.
I've had another rejection for A Stranger to Kindness so I need to get onto sending out another batch of queries. It would be so useful to know if it's the queries or the pages that are getting me the rejections. I hate querying.
I have to go back to work today which is likely to feel like something of a shock after having 10 days off.
What are your goals this week?
I think most people hate querying. I'm glad you figured out what version to use. Sometimes trying something new can be useful even if it doesn't work.
