A list of things I accomplished on my short hiatus:
1. Finished reading Glimpse out loud
2. Wrote my synopsis
3. Edited my synopsis
4. Judged youth poems for an annual B&N Poetry Contest with Hannah and Teebore. All time favorite poem? "Video Games Rule! (except for educational and baby ones)"
5. Tweaked Glimpse
6. Decided to test the query waters with Glimpse first, before I make any more large changes
7. Began to psych myself up for querying
8. Finished Elana's Possession
I feel like I'm missing something obvious, but hell if I can remember it.
All right! Share with me some of your recent accomplishments - I want to hear all about them so I can cheer you on!
If you're missing anything I can't find it.
ReplyDeleteYay, you're jumping into the query waters. And that's good, agent feedback is important before you tweak again. But I love that story and I don't think you need to do anything to it.
Good luck.
red. no BLUE!
ReplyDeleteWow, you've been busy! Sounds like you've accomplished a lot. Good luck with the query waters!
ReplyDeleteI have made no accomplishments, except today I might finish my WIP. Might. Maybe.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your accomplishments! My recent accomplishment? I'm still working on them ;)
ReplyDeletewhoohoo! sarah! way to make that synopsis submit! YAY!!!
ReplyDeletei've just been working on art stuff.
Looks like to accomplished a lot, congrats.
ReplyDeleteI...made it back from Nashville. And judged those poems.
ReplyDeleteThat is all. :(
"CALL OF DUTY RULES!!!!"
I've done nothing as cool as you lately, hated day job has been getting relentlessly in the way.
ReplyDeleteOh, I beat Dead Space 2. Yeah, snore.
Yay to achievements. I've done edits and read 7 books, but nothing much more than that. lol.
ReplyDeleteWow, you've accomplished a lot! Congrats! I need some of your energy!
ReplyDeleteHope you swim nicely in the query waters.
Oh, that is a lot. Go on in jump, make a big splash, and hopefully an agent will pull you in.
ReplyDeleteAnne - i'm still just wondering if 3rd POV would suit it better. I guess we'll see what happens
ReplyDeleteAnne - we need to watch that again like right now
Talli - thanks! Though it was all spread out over a week
Summer - DO IT!!! I know you can!
Jaydee - No worries! It's not a race. To each their own
Aspiring - awww thanks! And art stuff totes counts!!
Patti - thanks! I just wanted to show that my time away from people's blogs actually came to some sort of fruition
Teebore - but now Seasame Street teaches you how to read. Not at all. And judging those poems was a huge accomplishment in and of itself
Matthew - good to know. Portal 2 comes out today, so we're pretty psyched for the science to do
Lindsay - 7 books is a hella lot. My reading has slowed down some, which kinda bums me out
Kittie - i hope it's nice and warm. Like a hottub
Holly - thanks! I'm gonna cannonball the hell out of it!
I'm 2/3 of the way through the first draft of my WIP
ReplyDeleteWell done! You've gotten far more accomplished than I have lately. Although I did manage to edit a short story last week, all I've really been doing is reading through the alphabet. I've been at it all month, and I'm still only 69% of the way through...
ReplyDeleteWell done, Sarah. Well done. *applauds*
ReplyDeleteI've been a busy bee...but no time to write my list, plus, most of it isn't interesting.
Also, I know you know H told me...and YAY! :) *hugs*
I shall email you my response to her.
Love,
L
Let's see, I managed to change my blog template without scaring the dog and children while cursing . . . and finally joined Twitter - and now love it to death.
ReplyDeleteYou got the hated synopsis done? Well, good on you, girl! *Well* done! And querying Glimpse? Need somebody (who wants to read it real bad!) to...lean on some publishers? (Like I'm such a heavyweight, know what I'm sayin'). Just--wow! You got so much done, you *win*. You got way more done than I did. I got distracted by spiders....
ReplyDeleteAl - Woo Hoo! All that train riding is just speeding you along!
ReplyDeleteNate - well, to be fair, i purposely didn't join the A to Z fun because i knew i'd have a lot of other stuff i'd need to get done
Lola - Yay! Thanks! 'm still excited
Janel - i'm still holding off on the twitter bug, though now that Hannah has joined, it's siren call is even more beautiful
Yokohama - i did indeed. Parts of it was harder than expected, but most of it wasn't too bad. I'll let you know if i need some hired goons...
