That’s right. About 30 minutes ago, I put the finishing touches on the expanded draft of Bree & Mike’s story. It’s 56,000 words (on the shorter side of category romance, but still within the bounds) and will probably grow as I edit.
Of course, with Bree and Mike somewhat settled, I’m back to being at loose ends. What shall I do next?
The task that looms large is synopsis writing … but I think I’ll hold off on that until after our next NARWA meeting on May 15. That’s the topic our guest speaker, Cathy McDavid, will be covering.
Maybe I should go back to editing Kari & Damien’s story, “Blind Date Bride.” It’s my only single-title novel, and my writer friend Pat (who has read both it and Brad & Erin’s story) thinks it’s by far and away the better one.
Since Brad & Erin has been getting agent rejections left and right, I’m starting to think Pat may be right.
Query letter, here I come! Ugh. That sucks nearly as much as a synopsis.
I was just thinking about that myself the other day. It may be time for another stats post … In April, I had a word count (mostly a decent-sized one) nearly every day. I think I took four or five off.
Rock on! I can’t believe how close you are to your goal and you’re not even halfway through the year yet!
