The biggest change for this round was cutting a few paragraphs from the beginning of my first chapter. Yes, I'm guilty of major info dump! Also, there are certain elements I need to add throughout the story so readers don't forget about them.
Originally I was finished. But this past September into December I took a writing workshop. It was awesome! YA author Shannon Delany met with a group of us almost every Saturday.
So, I'm taking all I learned from the workshop and using it to make my novel the best I can get it. By February 3rd I will be sending out my novel to my Beta readers. Then I'll work on my synopsis and query letter. My goal is to be ready to submit my novel by the end of March.
Things are definitely coming together!
Also, I've made seventeen pieces of jewelry for my sister's open house. Twenty-three more to go in order to reach my goal. I'm really doing this!
What are you working on? How's it going with your goals?
