it's about time

Yesterday I really started diving in to the first draft of my next book. I'm pretty excited about it; teen superheroes, evil doctors, mysterious saviors, and teen angst all over the place. I might even get one of those metric thingies on this blog so I can track my progress! Will keep you all posted on how the writing goes.

a little nothing

I've got no update, really, but I thought I would update with that. Seven rejections, still waiting to hear from a couple more. I'll do another round of submissions after life settles down after my move this weekend. My writing has also stalled (see the abovementioned move that's been sucking away all my free time with things like packing) but I'm going to settle into my superhero fiction in earnest in April. I've got some ideas for some short stories, as well. So there's a lot stewing in my brain; I just haven't gotten much down on the page yet!
Hopefully the rest of this year will have a lot more writing/creative time, which will mean more blog postings related to it. I'll certainly try to get back into writing about my job, as well. In the meantime, happy spring to everyone!

update

So far, seven rejections. And not a peep out of the last couple of agents I submitted to. In the next week or two I'll submit to a few agents who don't take materials electronically. Fingers crossed!
