I know it's been a while since I've talked about the progress on my book. Sorry about that. I've been slowly working on adding more and more to my manuscript (look at me, using writing words I learned!) and I've been doing pretty good.
I've added 2 whole new chapters and I'm in the middle of revising one completely. I really like the direction it's heading with these two new chapters. I was a little hesitant because it seemed like it revealed something too soon, but hey, it ends up working and making more sense later.
I'm predicting that I'll add at least 3 more chapters and maybe 2-4 more pages on each chapter already written. I know some of you like to have small chapters so you can have someplace easy to stop at. But I'm hoping you won't want to stop anyway. Here's to hoping.
I'm still shooting for my Christmas deadline, and I'll let you know how that goes. Right now, I'm in a small block, so I thought I'd attempt to write other things instead, to get me back in motion, hence, this blog. I usually try to do something regarding the book when I get into the block so I can roll right into it again, but I don't need anything researched. I already have my fonts pretty much picked. I have a temporary cover that won't run into any problems for printing if I want to print off a cover for my records.
Anyway, I'm excited to see the Twilight movie with Julie/Brian/Jonathan on Sunday! We'll see how I like it! I'm going in to expect just another item to put towards the collection. It'll probably be nothing like the book, they rarely are, and I'll probably love it anyway.
I went to the Miss Auburn practice last Sunday, and I plan to go again this Sunday, and let me tell you... I was interviewing the contestants this year, and wow, that was fun! They actually took my advice! I'm no expert in interviews, believe you me, but I know I'm good at it (My first year's candlelight award was in interview and the interview coach said I was excellent at it).
I liked being there without all the stress to endure. And thank goodness I don't have to do talent!! I am absolutely horrible at everything that would be considered a stage talent!
I pitched on offer to them to be the writer for them, and Kathy (my friend, Ladies Advisor, Mayor's wife) said the President of the program liked the idea and she was supposed to get in touch with me, but she hasn't. I'm hoping if she's at the next practice this Sunday, I can have a sample for her if she asks! It's all in the name of writing and trying to get published. I need more publishing credit. The more you have, the more likely you are to getting published.
It reminds me of credit cards. You can't get a credit card without good credit. Well, the same applies in writing. You can't get published without publishing history. oy.
Anyway, I think I'll attack my book again!
Later Gators.
