The End is Near!
Yes, I finally got past that argument I wanted to write and the guys are finally in LA!
But now I'm in the middle of another one. Argument, that is. I have to add a lot of drama in there before the big ending. I'm pretty happy with it, I think.
Noël's been reading and is happily obsessed! Actually, I'm just glad she likes the story. This is always good to hear-if I can keep two completely different types of readers interested then maybe others will be sure to follow. It's been fun being able to share it with other people. I've got some more chapters to send to Heather, but I can't find the e-mail message with the last chapters I sent.
Now if I can just keep plugging along and get it done, without any more nagging. Then I can start sending query letters. I've been wondering if it's better to query agents first, then publishers. There's no telling. I still think it's pretty good-I've got a strong central character that everyone's rooting for, it's funny, it's sexy(maybe even too dirty), and I think it's believeable. I'm still very proud of it despite that I started it twenty years ago when I was a clueless sixteen-year-old. Jon grew up with me-it's pretty cool. I still almost hate to finish it-I can't go back to that world again. Well, I can by just re-reading it, and I have prequel and sequel notes!
Now all we need is a title. We've been scoping song lyrics for ideas. I also thought a cool packaging idea would be to have a soundtrack to go with it. I'm thinking about putting a mix together already-I'm thinking box set??? Well, just 2 cds for now.
I'd be working on it now but I forgot to bring my flashdrive with me to class-it's still in my office computer. I'll probably be able to get a lot done on it this weekend-we don't have gigs, I've still got my cold, and Don will be at the State Track Meet with Cassie on Friday. I might even go to Mom's. Don't know yet.
Anyway-that's the latest update!
