Writing thoughts: 2020 edition
Dec. 30th, 2019 02:30 pmWelp, 2019 is almost over, and 2020 is about to be here.
To be honest, I didn't accomplish what I'd wanted to, which was to finish revising Novel #3. Instead, I crashed at the beginning of December when I realized that my current revisions weren't working out and I'd have to go back to the drawing board all over again.
That was...a pretty terrible feeling for me, and I ended up taking a break from writing to play Pokémon instead.
Right now, I have *one* more idea for revising that I want to try. And my goal is to work on this revision idea for January to see if it'll work or not.
Either I can come up with a coherent draft incorporating this last revision idea, or I can't, but in either case—in other words, whether I end up with a new draft, or whether I decide I don't know how to revise it—I plan on (1) continuing to query; (2) if no agents are interested, submitting to a small press (specifically Interlude Press and Entangled Publishing).
There's also RevPit in April, which I'm keeping in the back of my mind...but considering I had no luck getting into Pitch Wars, I'm not sure how much to count on that.
In any case, I'm really hoping to be able to start a new manuscript next year, since I'm ever so slightly sick of writing contemporary romance.
*shrug*
