For those of you wondering I have finished updating my synopsis and query letter for THE THIRD AGE. They just need the Claire stamp of approval, and I will consider the project ready to be sent out into the harsh, harsh world. Next will come rejection letters, each of which feels like a bamboo cane whipping against your SOUL! Well maybe not that bad. I guess it feels more like getting hit in the stomach with a baseball bat. Ah the joys of the artistic life.
All of that can wait until January when agents might be a little more responsive. I may post my progress here. That will probably depend on how bad the beating is…
Anyway, all of this means that I am about ready to start work on a new novel (its a viscous cycle!). I’m considering writing the sequel to THE THIRD AGE (not sure why I titled it that as I always misspell third as thrid). I also have another idea that I have been slowly piecing together for a few months that I think could be a really cool story. Not sure which I will go with at this point. I’ll take this weekend and think it over before starting sometime next week.
I hope your day is perfectly cromulent.
