Everybody's Current Projects

[Nessa]

It certainly was nice. Kudos Parker.

I got through my writer's block and finished the chapter. Kudos for me.

[Fellfrosch]

Nicely done, Parker. I've never gotten a rejetion letter that nice and happy.

Hey, guess what? Jeff Savage is speaking tonight at 7:00 (that's Wednesday Jan 25th) on the second floor at the Provo library, and he's going to give us ten tips guaranteed to get our manuscripts looked at by national agents and publishers. And he says that we'll be too scared to use the tenth idea, but it's the most effective thing he's used. Very mysterious. I've got to hear this.

I wonder if I should put this on a different post, so more people can see this?

[Skar]

As long as you list those ten things out for us I'll be happy wherever you put them.

And he says that we'll be too scared to use the tenth idea, but it's the most effective thing he's used.

Would that be, work hard and write a good book?

I have one novel in progress, a fantasy, that the speculists writing group has been helping me with feedback. It's about a woman who has inherited a kind of magic that can be passed down from one generation to another.

I plan to hit 90,000 words today. I hope. I still have about 1/3 - 1/4 of the story left to write, and then onto revisions. Unfortunately I'm suffering from low-grade writer's block at the moment, but I'm trudging through it as best I can.

The first draft is done. Finally. Coming in at 165,400 words. Now for the second draft.

Anyone else care to update on their projects? Fell? (I do remember you promising to send me your story to read when you finished it...)

[Shrain]

Yay, Nessa!! I sure wish my first draft were done.

Hey! It's my cousin! Welcome back, chunktile!

[stacer]

Oh, and be sure to introduce yourself here.

[Spriggan]

Hey! It's my cousin! Welcome back, chunktile!

So does this mean we can't ask him to do the Truffle Shuffle before he makes another post?

[stacer]

Nope.  

[chunktile]

Well, I just started writing a short story. I was inspired after reading one of those "Unexplained Mystery" books. It might turn out well.  :-/

[EUOL]

Current Projects for EUOL:

Warbreaker: 29 chapters done.  (About halfway.  I'm keeping some back from posting them immediately because I know it will be slow going for a while, what with the revisions I have to do.)

Mistborn 2: Just started the seventh draft.  (The last major revision I'll have to do, hopefully.

Mistborn 3: Haven't looked at it since I finished the third draft back in May.

Alcatraz:  Revisions coming back from Scholastic in a week or so.  I need to have the fourth draft done by mid October, contractually.

So, I'm a busy, busy little writer.

[stacer]

Good to know you haven't looked at Mistborn 3 lately. I haven't either.
