So… the goals for August were a tad ambitious. I did get some things done though…
Make one last pass through ALL GREMLINS (C1) and then get the query out to the first batch of agents. (And then stop hyperventilating.)Get the next two chapters of ALL BASILISKS (C3) revised and submitted to YWC.- Write the ending for the new novel (which still doesn’t have a name other than “Dude, Where’s My Dragon?”) and go back through and figure out what is missing. (This didn’t quite happen.)
I also ended up writing a synopsis for ALL GREMLINS which involved a whole lot of whining and then a bit of editing.
A little carrying over of goals isn’t the worst thing in the world. And this way I don’t have to think too hard about coming up with something new. Anyhow, here are the goals for September:
- Get an ending done on the rough draft of the dragon novel.
- Come up with a list of comparable titles (aka “comps”) for ALL GREMLINS because some agents want them.
- Keep a minimum of ten agents ignoring my query at all times (by which I mean when one rejects me I send the query to another one).
- Get the next chapter of ALL BASILISKS out to YWC.
I just need to have the same work ethic as the Little Dog when she’s digging a hole.
