I found the blog again!

Okay, so I didn't look all that hard for a while, but then Jeni from the writing group mentioned it several times and I knew I need to get back to it.

So, I've finally started a new story. Mid-grade Sci Fi. And I'm not just writing it because several editors mentioned they'd like to find a good mid-grade sci fi (though I must admit, that was a deciding factor of the age group I picked).

I've actually written 3 chapters! I'm at about 7000 words so far. That's a good chunk of a mid-grade book! Though I hope I've not made my idea too large for one book. I'm hoping it would be a good series, but definitely need it to stand alone so I can sell it.

So.. enough rambling from me. I'll post snippets here and there when I need help, or want to amaze you all with my writing ability. ;)

HOORAY! Great to see you. I LOVE middle grade science fiction! I am so glad someone else is working on one too.

I'm up to 8793 words, but I left the conference with 3600 already written. You're moving faster than I am. I took two weeks to get my research all together and now I'm just struggling to find large blocks of time so I can draft new material. Every time I stop it takes me about fifteen minutes to get back into the flow.

I eagerly await being amazed by your excerpts and happily volunteer to help rip them to shreds--uh---I mean--offer constructive suggestions!

Way to go Kevin! I'll look forward to what you do.

You, too, Rebecca!
