the whole shebang…

the ins and outs & ups and downs of a new novelist's journey

newer working title. the last one ’til someone else decides for me. March 16, 2009

I’ve gone through three revisions now, and am about to post the 1st 1,500 words on goodreads so that I can get a bit more feedback before I send it off to the Midwest Writers Workshop for a fellowship. If I get one of the nine spots, I’ll get a weekend retreat for free. I’m not counting my chickens, but one has to try all avenues.

I’m even more excited about finishing the next couple thousand words of my book because then I can upload it to Authonomy for reviews and ranking. I adore feedback of all kinds – unless someone is just being mean and pretentious for no good reason, and I have encountered this. Well, not personally, but I’ve stood up for others when I see it happen as there is absolutely no excuse for it.

- Oh, yeah. I almost forgot the final working title:
‘The Abandoned Edge of Avalon’

The Forgotten Fae

Also, I now have ~6k done & my 1st 1500 are completely revised! They have to be in order to apply for a fellowship coming up. Of course, I could easily not get it, since there are only 3 spots for my genre, but no matter what, the pressure is gettin’ my butt in gear. I’m about 25 pp in – only 225 or so to go …HA!
But I’m lovin’ every minute of it!
