Hi there. Remember when this blog was about my transition
from writing short, cheeky reviews of bad movies to a decidedly not-cheeky
novel? I do, though you wouldn’t know it from the past couple weeks’ worth of
posts.
In my last Write On post, I talked about the formation of a
local writers group and how we’ve been helping each other. Yes, that has
included me giving my novel (in installments) to the group for their feedback.
In fact, shortly after that post I received the final installment of feedback
on my novel from the group.
Here’s the good news: I am still working on the novel – and
actively so. I’m not abandoning it or tabling it or taking a break or any such
thing. That’s not the issue.
No, the issue is that we’re all caught up to where I am in
my process and making the final round of edits takes time… time that I’ve been
splitting with writing blog posts (and actually getting outside now that the
weather is finally nice, spending time with the kids, working on household
projects, etc., etc.). There are only so many hours in the day.
So starting this week, I’m going to slow down the
already-not-particularly-rigorous pace of posts here to every Tuesday, at least
for a while. That will give me a chance to finish this draft and begin the hunt
for an agent. Once I start that process, I’ll have a whole bunch of new things
to blog about, honest.
The one exception will be the Bad Movie of the Month pieces,
though I’ve been debating changing those up to something else. Thoughts? Let me
know in the comments.
You know that I'm expecting to proof this, right?
