I was able to finally let go, which was good. Now if I can only get my family on board with my "waiting" goals. ;)Charity Bradfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01960821077619680661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7762622439282650752.post-73932530069746973532012-05-03T21:08:52.919-05:002012-05-03T21:08:52.919-05:00Oh lol, Charity, how did I miss this post?

That's what I keep telling my hubby and that's why my goal was to finish Orek (book 2) and completely outline Battle for Sendek (book 3) by the end of the year. He's not on board yet.<br /><br />The good news is I already have 50K words of stuff I can use for the second book, but I feel it needs a lot of reworking. Thankfully, I have a better understanding of my characters and the overall plot arc now than when I wrote that 50K two years ago.Charity Bradfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01960821077619680661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7762622439282650752.post-70305060032136758102012-05-02T20:44:45.432-05:002012-05-02T20:44:45.432-05:00The best thing to do while you wait is to write th...The best thing to do while you wait is to write the next book so your fans won't have to wait so long for the next one. :)Marnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10578680385845150761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7762622439282650752.post-22048882490201227212012-05-02T11:29:00.651-05:002012-05-02T11:29:00.651-05:00Congrats on being so close to 500 followers and I ...Congrats on being so close to 500 followers and I totally relate to the pre-contract nerves ;)Johanna Garthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15515478890074610814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7762622439282650752.post-87934402817118006352012-05-02T10:03:44.931-05:002012-05-02T10:03:44.931-05:00Me too!

I thought it was a knockoff of Harry Potter meets Narnia with more adult stuff in it was all. I think I might have liked it more if people hadn't said "OMG MIKE YOU HAVE TO READ THIS BOOK IT IS THE BEST THING EVER!!!! AND SO ORIGINAL!!!!" So I had all these expectations, ya know...and then went to it and was like...this isn't original at all?Michael Offutt, Phantom Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10557969104886174930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7762622439282650752.post-91806529715231461032012-05-02T07:03:19.115-05:002012-05-02T07:03:19.115-05:00Glad the contract didn't explode between here ...Glad the contract didn't explode between here and there!<br />You'll like working your editor. My publisher likes to do three rounds of edits, with the final one being after review copies are sent out. <br />And so close to five hundred followers - cool!Alex J.
