This has been a really long week and I don't know why. I did accomplish lots though.
For instance, I went through the first 114 pages of my novel twice this week considering the comments of two beta readers. Each time I sift through and catch those typos and awkward sentences I get more and more excited. The end MUST be getting closer each time. My goal is to have this thing out again in the slush piles by the end of June. (My dental hygienist gave me six months to bring her some positive news.)
Which brings me to my second thought. I love that people know I've written a book that I'm hoping to get published. I'm very lucky to be surrounded by people like those at my dentist who are excited for me even though they haven't read a word of the book. They hope I make it. I hope I don't disappoint them.
Next!

Is it a full moon tonight? I passed two police cars and two ambulances in a three mile stretch of road on the way home this morning. What's going on?
If it does get published, tell your dentist to leave a few copies in the waiting room!
ReplyDeleteIf it does, I'm setting up a booth at his summer health fair! Reading is healthy, right!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you are doing really well Charity. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.
ReplyDeleteAs I go through the suggestions of my critique partners and expand on my manuscript, I get excited as well. And I think the full moon was earlier this week. Leftover weirdos?
ReplyDeleteOoh the end of June isn't far away. How exciting! Best of luck with your fine tuning! :-)
