I even sent out a couple of e-queries to see what kind of response I would get. I only sent out 3 and got one rejection almost immediately. But hey, that's one rejection closer to an acceptance right? I know if I continue as determined as I am now, I will do it one day. I might be 70 but at least I'll be able to say I'm a published author and I'll die a happy lady.
I'm standing around 40,000 words out of what I hope to be around a 75K book. Being at the black moment by 45K words probably isn't a good sign but that's something I can go back and fix during revisions. My crit partners have already helped me immensely and I've got some great suggestions on where to lengthen, where to shorten and where to trash and write over! ;oD
My goals for this week is to write chapter 12. I'm afraid to write it at the moment because I don't really know how to get to the ending, as I mentioned earlier. So it's probably going to be like pulling teeth!
Stay tuned next week!

Oooh, I am excited to see how this progresses! Great attitude too on the rejection - just keeping working and you'll get there!
Great progress. Sometime I find the characters directing what is going to happen next as I write. I always thought it was weird when I heard people talking about the characters taking over. Now I know what they mean. :) Good luck with Chapter 12.
My WIP Wednesday post is here
I love hearing about the book and how it's coming along. It's always something I've wanted to do, but when I've tried, it's just not for me. I'm so excited! Can I get a signed copy??
Wow... great progress I am so proud of you. What a wonderful thing you are doing!
