When I read great stories like Forging and Starcaster and don't see them quickly scooped up makes me wonder what else is out there that is equally fantastic and waiting. <br />You need to do what you must to keep up your energy.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17866730185060307014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8859423114554025557.post-60007702199997269312009-08-10T08:41:10.437-04:002009-08-10T08:41:10.437-04:00I'm having similar thoughts about my own work....I'm having similar thoughts about my own work. I really like <i>Immigrant Moon</i>, but I'm really eager to move on to my revisions of <i>Hex</i>, which is better plotted than IM...and it's only a first draft. And I also have another first draft I've been trying to work on, but haven't made much progress on because I've been so absorbed in IM. I'm still not ready to give up on IM; I'm about one third of the way through my revision, and I've made a bunch of progress on working out the plot kinks in the last week. So we'll see what happens.<br /><br />All in all, I guess that's just the long way of saying I understand exactly what you're saying.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8859423114554025557.post-46567905048163010522009-08-05T06:07:12.752-04:002009-08-05T06:07:12.752-04:00Lauren, I can't.

I agree that if you bel...Good luck with the short!<br /><br />I agree that if you believe "East" is better and you have the passion to keep writing it, it would make sense to focus on that. ;) Plus, it's good you can see which would make a better debut.<br /><br />(I've pondered that, too, and narrowed my selection down to two different novels--urban and dark fantasy--and so I think it depends on which one calls to me more to get ready to query about. ;) And I'm rather paranoid about being able to finish so naturally my goal has become 'finish the first three/four books in draft before touching revisions. lol)<br /><br />Good to hear you'll come back to "Legend" again sometime. :) I agree, some novels just... seem like they would work better if "written" after you have established a name for yourself. B-) I'm sure you will one day.<br /><br />~MercMerchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14164221022350926808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8859423114554025557.post-62686707288794445412009-08-03T22:24:52.348-04:002009-08-03T22:24:52.348-04:00Sounds like your writing is going well.
