Well, I didn't win. Rats!
But I'm very happy and excited for the finalist who did, Bonnie Dee. How exciting to know your first chapter is getting read by such an awesome agent?! The New Beginnings Contest was a wonderful experience and I appreciate all of Jennifer Haymore's time and consideration. Seriously! She did a kicking job of paying it forward! Hopefully, one day she'll let me grill her in the TLN Hot Seat. Too cool!
In WIP news:
I've done a little plot restructuring. Thanks to the contest, I had to have my synopsis fine tuned which brought to light some plotting problems. I need to give a big ole Thank You to Diana Cosby for all her advice on writing a synopsis. She really broke it all down for me and made the mountain into a mole hill!
Diana has some good stuff for writers on her website. She is a very driven author who is perfect inspiration for this novice writer! Here is the link to her articles section.
I'm making steady progress, which has been very motivating. With any luck, I'll be right on track to meet my goal of finishing by summer.
What about you? Have you been able to stick to your goals from the beginning of the year?
