Enlisted
So a lot has happened since I skipped across the stage a few weeks ago. I’ve officially started writing as a career and let me just say hats off to all of you who have been at it this long. Becoming a novelist is not for the faint of heart and I’m beginning to realize that some superpowers and cashing in a few miracles wouldn’t hurt either.
My first step is joining the June bootcamp at SavvyAuthors to get into the habit of lighting a fire under my butt even on the worst of writing days. My second step had me tripping over my own two feet and crashing over a cliff. I’ve turned my fledgling manuscript Confession into a YA. Those who don’t know me are shrugging I’m sure. Those who do are probably trying to keep in their snorts of laughter. Let’s just say that Young Adult is something I’d never thought I’d find myself doing, but long as I’m leaping into the abyss I’m relieved to have joined up with five fantastic novelists who can make sure I don’t go splat at the bottom. The Angst Army is holding their own in SavvyAuthor’s awesome word count bootcamp competition and I’m learning more than I ever dreamed.
Confession is 4000 words and counting. Somebody toss me a parachute.
