Finished Another Book

While I was waiting to hear back on the rewrite of Earthcrosser, I drafted an entire new novel, 67,000 words long.

They told me publishing moves slow.

At the workshop I had a few words with Martha. She said I could call her if it got to be too long before I heard from her. At the time I thought - no way am I ever calling a real editor from New York on the telephone! I'm way too chicken! Three months later. . . it's getting tempting.

Summer Time

Summer time! Writing season! I always get more writing done in the summer than during the school year. Sure, the kids are all here, but they play with each other and leave me alone. During school I have PTA, volunteering in classrooms, and a bored pre-schooler to contend with.

What's your writing season?

So Long WIFYR 2009

It was great to see lots of you again at the workshop this year! I found I really missed the comraderie of being in a morning class. Next year I'll sign up earlier. And I'll have a new book done, I hope.

So what was the most interesting thing you learned this year? I think I learned that if you want to win the daily writing contest you had to write something about Carol and Cheri.

Warbreaker Release Party

Sanderson Sensei's new book is coming out the week of WIFYR! We should all go crash the release party on Tuesday evening June 9th at the BYU Bookstore.

Reunion Lunch

Hey everyone!

Shall those of us who will be in Provo get together for lunch one of the days of this year's WIFYR? I'd like to see everyone again.

Woot!

I just had to share with you guys my awesome news. I recently attended the LDStorymakers Conference where they hold a first chapter contest every year. I entered the story I wrote for our class last year, Newtimber, and I won the GRAND PRIZE! How cool is that?
