On to the next book...
Good on you. That's EXACTLY what you need to be doing.
And you know what? You just never know when you might hear anything. Yeah, we're coming up on the holidays, but it's possible someone will read over Thanksgiving and want to make an offer in December. It happens.
Hang in there.
Good Luck Allyson!
I made good progress on 23, but it's taking longer to get past the new stuff than I thought. Thank goodness I cut out a bunch of stuff at this point in the plot. I guess I will press onward with 23 until I hit a point that would make a good chapter break. I think there is some slack in my chapter plan that I can use to prevent word count from exceeding my goal.
In my plan, I had always thought about splitting it off in two directions during my next revision. One, the straightforward revision and two, a modified version without the more adult stuff solely so my daughter could read it. Now I wonder if I could turn that second version into a full-fledged YA derivative. Food for thought, I suppose.
Meep!
Carmen may be a Fall 2010 book!

YAY!!!
Excellent, congratulations!
That sounds fantastic, Barb!
That's actually soon in children's publishing terms!

Don't I know it! But this is exactly why I wanted to be with an adult house that had gone into YA rather than a strict children's house.
Woo hoo, Barb!
