Monday Night Goalposts
/
My story made me weepy...
Just a little. Thank goodness the Man had gone to bed. He'd wonder what the heck I was doing writing a story that makes me cry!
I guess this'll be my goalpost for the week. I'm late...not to mention I didn't do it last week or the week before. Sooooo, here it goes.
Giving Back
I did get back into RWCcritique, so I've been doing about 2 critques a week there. I want to continue that pace and build up some subworthiness. LOL At RWC we have to do 2 critiques for every submission. Idealistically, i want to be able to put my own ms through pretty quickly once I get started...so, having a surplus of critiques will be a good thing.
Otherwise, I'm still working with Estelle and a little with Lauren, but I'm trying to make a better balance for myself. :)
For me
1) rewrite Switzerland scene
~finished through chapter 12 and plowed into 13 with more of this scene from Switzerland. I borrowed a movie from the library, a tour of Switzerland. Really interesting and helpful. I have one, maybe two more scenes in the mountains before I can head back to the all ready present plot line. :) Will do that in the next couple of days.
2) reread 7 books -Gave up on some of the rereading. My story took over, and I picked up a few new, must reads. Right now I'm doing Tribute, Nora Roberts' new hardcover single title. I'm so happy! From page one, it had a different feel to it. It's been refreshing so far and I love it.
3) My goal this week is to get a query letter started. It's time...
