My hero!

Yikes! 1000 words a day is amazing with a schedule as busy as yours. I'm impressed. Keep up the great work.

[stephanieburgis]

I'm in awe that you've been doing 1,000 words a day at the same time as all those speaking engagements! That is fantastic!

[kimmiepoppins]

I launched a book this weekend!!!!! It was amazing. I haven't done much on edits and I started NaNoWriMo. I have more laundry than a laundry mat and I'm pretty stinkin' tired. Life is pretty good. Off to catch up on everything. :o)

[annemariepace]

All I have to say is . . .

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[kimmiepoppins]

I will hold you. Wait for it.... ((((((((((hugs)))))))))

[barbarabaker]

Oops! That doesn't sound good. Hope things settle down and you can get lots of writing done.

[annemariepace]

Thanks. It's just that every fall I commit to JoNoWriMo with plans to revise a novel and every fall I get derailed by picture books under contract--not that I'm complaining about the picture books under contract, but in SOME LIFE I'd like to have a novel ready for submitting.

I'm still waiting to hear back from my agent on my WIP before I can start rewriting it, but I've written a few thousand words of a new novel as well as doing my freelance work, so...I feel like I'm doing okay! (Although obviously I'm going through major nerves right now.)

[amygreenfield]

You are doing more than okay, Steph! I think it's amazing that you've started another book in addition to the freelance work. And the WIP is wonderful!

[stephanieburgis]

Thank you so much, Amy! *hugs*

[cfaughnan]

Great job getting a few thousand words of a new novel! Wow!

[amygreenfield]

I met my main JoNo goal today! After some intense revision, I sent off the 2nd Chantress book to my agent and editor. And it's in ahead of deadline, which I wasn't sure I could do! *cheers, then collapses*

Once I've recovered, I need to figure out what to focus on next. I want to sketch out more of book 3, but I can only go so far until I get feedback on book 2. So I will probably do some research on book trailers in the meantime (can I do one? should I? etc.).

Rooting for everyone here! You are a wonderful inspiration. And many thanks to Jo for bringing us together!

[barbarabaker]

Congratulations on meeting your main goal. It must feel great. Research on trailers sounds like a smart idea. Hope you share the results. Good luck with book 3.

[amygreenfield]

Thanks, Barbara! If I learn anything useful about trailers, I'd be glad to share!

[cfaughnan]

Excellent work meeting your goal, Amy! It will be interesting to see what you discover about trailers.

Yay for your progress!
