Hi, all! I hope you’re having a great weekend, even though it’s still kind of early on Saturday morning.
Last night, after we put our son to bed, I settled my computer on my lap in bed and checked my email. I got a note from Lin, an editor from Crescent Moon Press, an epublisher for whom I’m doing editing (but no acquisitions, so don’t send me manuscripts!). I’m currently in the middle, technically, of editing two books for them. I say technically because I only have one of them on my computer right now, and I’m waiting for the author to send me the other one.
Lin just wrong to see how things were going and asked if I’d be interested in editing a Middle Grade book. I’m quite excited about this because Steve has a Middle Grade book he’s written that’s he’s been talking about self-publishing. I’m interested in seeing how his book stands up to one that CMP has purchased.
So, now I’m focusing on getting my current assignment finished to I can move on to the next one!
For my own writing, I have a good start on Sword & Infidel but I’ve set it aside until I see if Sword & Illusion sells. I don’t want to waste my writing time on a project that may never see the light of day.
So, now I’m debating on what to work on. I want to do NaNoWriMo this year, so I’m holding off on writing Pigsty Princess until then. I got an idea for a shapeshifting jewel thief detective last weekend so I’ve been working on that one, AND the Lost Ring of Queen Foo that Noah and I’ve been talking about. I just don’t have one book that I’m focusing on now.
My critique group, The Rowdy Girls, meets on Tuesday and I need to submit something to them this weekend.
So, I guess I should get writing! Later, y’all!
