Yesterday, I finished up the rough draft of a new manuscript for my American Romance editor. While she really liked the idea, I’m still waiting on the contract, which will hopefully come soon, but there’s a tiny bit of anxiety there. Please, like it! Please, like it… I kinda already wrote it…
So I’m going to let that book sit for a bit before I start editing it. I love the dynamics that developed in the rough draft, but there really isn’t any point in doing serious editing until I’ve got a bit of perspective.. and a contract. 😉
Now that manuscript is done (for the moment) I’m going to start a new book for Love Inspired. This is another one that the editor really liked, but I’m still waiting on the contract. Still, I love the characters and the way they play off each other, so I’m looking forward to getting started. So today, I’m going to start the book outline where I plan out the main plot points for each chapter.
And that is what your local romance writer is up to! The inside of my head is a very interesting place, but on the outside, it just looks like me hunkered over my computer. 😉
Have you ever considered writing a Christmas book?
I really love Christmas, so it would be fun! My main concern is that it would limit when my book could come out… and I’d HATE to be pushed to the next year because the Xmas spots filled up!
Way to go getting your book in! I’m closing in on the end of my first draft of my first “submit worthy” book and am nervous as heck over finishing it!
Congratulations! That’s a huge milestone! 🙂 When you do type “the end,” before you start editing, do something to celebrate. You deserve it.
