What's going on in writing this week?
Deciding which book to work on now. I have three WIPs going, mostly because I'm having trouble choosing. My goal is to get an agent and sell a book. So, as much as I want to write what I like, I need to keep the market in mind.
WIP 2 is the one I have in mind, set in the world of hedge fund trading (I worked in finance for ten years), I think it's timely. WIP 3 is contemporary fiction and I think it has the widest appeal. WIP 2 is edgy fiction set in Las Vegas, probably the most fun to write. The nice thing about having three is if I get sick of one I can go to the other instead of complaining about writer's block.
Redux: Done, queries being sent to agents.
WIP 1: 15,560 words.
WIP 2: 1,844 words.
WIP 3: 3,122 words.
Successes?
Honorable mention in Women On Writing's Winter Flash Fiction Contest.
Semi-finalist in Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award. (I completely re-wrote that manuscript and think it's a much stronger book now.)
