Here is proof that I am a third of the way through writing my second book!!! It sounds so weird to say that I am writing my second book because that means that I actually wrote a first book.
Current updates on the first book:
I have finished revising, nineteen hours worth to be precise. I have had various BETA readers who have given wonderful feedback and a few more who still need to read it. I have been actively researching agents! You might be wondering what the next step is.
Here is my breakdown for the journey to becoming published: 1.) Wrap mind around the fact that there is actually a book to be published 2.) Get over fear of sending work out and dreading that everyone will hate it 3.) Collect critique forms from valued BETA readers 4.) Write a summary for the series 5.) Write a summary for Book One *Side Note: Writing a summary is actually much more difficult than it seems. Writing 311 pages? No problem. One paragraph? The hardest thing in the world! 6.) Write query letters directed to each individual agent 7.) Send out query letters 8.) Pray to the literary gods that someone will like my work From there it is a waiting game to find an agent and then from there, a whole other journey before I see my book published. In the meantime, I have plenty of homework to keep me busy. Homework, might I mention, that is not getting done to the best of my abilities because my characters can be extremely persuasive in convincing me to write instead.
