Sox, does it work for you to do all that once? That would be daunting, and a little confusing, to me.
I'm not sure what works and what doesn't right now. Much of what I'm trying to do is build some habits back up, in addition to, you know, not writing horrible stuff.
Also, maybe start editing the piece that's been written the longest, so you have some distance from it?
Yah, the one I went after is the one you read a very early draft of. It's changed a lot, but still has a couple of really S-L-O-W sections. /tsks/
I've put up a couple of Sci-Fi stories without any problems, but it's definitely biased heavily toward fantasy.
ah, ok.
I don't really know of a sci-fi site like that.
aside from GWW.
I stumbled across SheWrites after a visit to VIDA (http://vidaweb.org/). I really like Vida, but SheWrites seems very, very big.
Barnes and Noble fixed my author information. Now I finally feel free to link there!
I'm working on outlining Cog. I think I'm all ready to start querying too, but I'm having a hard time willing myself to get those first couple out. The odds seem so terrifyingly low.
The odds are better if you send the queries than if you don't.
I have a query letter almost ready for that first query.
Meanwhile, I finished my outline and started writing chapter 1 of 'Cog'.
It starts with: "Is your name really Cog?". 'Course it might get axed in rewrite.
Somehow having a second novel started is making me feel less anxious about the first one striking out, which is pretty much what I'm expecting.
I'm a 1,000 words into the new novel. I need to get off my ass and get those first query letters out, though.
You can do it, Gud. Start with one or two and go from there.
I working toward the first one. I've redone the letter a couple of times.
I've discovered Dropbox, well I've known about it for a long time but I finally made an account to sync my password keychain, and now I wonder why the hell I never used this before. I install it on multiple computers and use the folder to store my projects and bam, instant syncing and online backup. It's brilliant.
oh I love Dropbox with all that is in me.
