I've been working on my WIP Styx and Stones for a little over a year. This is my third revision (which I started 3 months ago) where a lot of big editing stuff happened. I dropped a few unneeded characters, slashed through a few sub-plots, changed the way the plot wove together and really worked to refine both MCs voices. Now is my month to rest and grow apart from the little beauty I've just slaved over for a year. I've got the Beta Readers lined up and I can't wait to get their feedback!
But what caught my attention through all of this is that I've spent a year of my life on this novel. I've written three novels now and I can pretty much count my life through these novels. Ages15 through 20 were devoted to the very long, very unpolished first novel I wrote. 21-22 is hopelessly devoted to the second and now 22 to 23 is this one.
Can you look back on your life and say the same?
I know from web surfing and stalking many agent's blogs that it's good to be able to write about a book a year so I feel right on pace. This month I'll probably be posting some on the query letter crafting process. I can't wait!
This is such a wonderful night!

Thinking of writing something below? Well, that's why you are awesome! I always love feedback!
This blog is an award free zone. With the demand of a full time job, blogging time is becoming much more precious and I just don't have the time to meet the demands of awards. Thanks so much for thinking of me anyway!
