Procrastination Post

Okay, I'm back after disappearing from the Web-sphere for a few months. Grad school started up again and took over my life; plus, I was lazy.

After about two months of avoiding even looking at it, I've begun another, possibly final, revision of Kingmaker. I've workshopped a few chapters with other writers and gotten some helpful comments and feel that I really know what major plot changes I need to make. As a result, I've decided to participate in Nanorevismo--the editor's counterpart to Nanowrimo (National Novel Writing Month). My plan is to finish this revision of my novel by the end of November, give it another once-over for language, and then step back and decide whether it's ready to submit.

I was saddened to decide that I didn't have time to do Nanowrimo as well; I actually began a new project for it before deciding that I just couldn't do both. That project, which is young adult science fiction, will probably be my next novel. More on it later.
