Silence! So much silence, there is almost too much to say, lovelies!
First of all, thank you so much for your guys' enthusiasm about Heartstoppers! I seriously DID NOT expect people to actually say; oh, this sounds cool! That is amazingly nice of ya'll.
Right now, Heartstoppers is undergoing revisions, which is cool. It's actually becoming a different book, with the skeleton in place. I think I learned from writing this that I work better with a fast-skeleton set down first, and then a month or so of revisions. Does anyone else do this? Am I tres strange?
Secondly, I've been cultivating a great concept. It hit me hard when I was driving! (Which could have been scary, or bad, but I was enraptured but also in control of the wheel, so that's good!) It's super seekrit as of now, but I'm hesitant to call it Dystopian. It's set in a future world, but I'd say it's more of a thriller type of thing, without all the REALLY advanced tech. I'm not sure what to call it. It could be called sci-fi, but I know that lots of agents are scared off by that genre. :( So. Definetly a thriller, though.
Oh, and completely random; Alfredo. I think it's now my signature dish. If any of you have something to celebrate, lemme know and I'll whip you up a plate of cyberfredo.

Mmmm Cyberfredo, yes please! I recently started adding freshly squeezed lemon juice to my Alfredo and it's soooooooo good.
ReplyDeleteI do the same "skeleton" type writing that you do. I get all the good parts down and then flesh it out with revisions.
And congrats on the shiny new idea! I always seem to get mine while driving too. Then I send a text message to myself with some cryptic quickly typed out summary of my new idea. :)
