Writing a story is truly a journey. [WIP stands for Work In Progress.]
Autumn is a busy time. Friday 13th was this October, but I am still on track with my writing goals.
Debut Novel - Book 1 in the series
This is it! This is the month I will finish the last line edits. I am five chapters away, and the novel is now at 106k words. Not only that, I actually feel good about it. I feel it is well thought out, structured, and the writing flows. Not to mention the epic scenes that make you feel like you are a part of the action.
I am excited to pitch it to agents again in the coming weeks. I will keep you updated as the pitching starts. I know I might not find an agent, but I definitely won't succeed if I don't try.
PS: I will soon share the first chapter of my debut for FREE in my newsletter. Join HERE if you want first access and updates.
Book 2 in the series
I have decided to put this book on a well-deserved break. Before I continue writing the first draft, I have some decisions about the plot, POV, and the following books.
During that tinkering period and break, I will continue to pitch my debut and also join NaNoWriMO. It is a challenge to finish a book's first draft in one month. In November. Since I am still working on the plot for Book 2 in the series, I figured I would give another book idea the light of day. But I need help.
