Wow, it's been two weeks since I've visited my own blog. Eesh! I guess my first New Year's resolution is to blog more often. It's not like I've been that busy. Mostly reading and hanging out. Relaxing in general and enjoying family time over the holidays.
Tonight, for example, the only reason I'm awake as midnight approaches is because I've been reading "Catching Fire," the second book in Suzanne Collins' "Hunger Games" series. I finished it and now I'm dying to read the third and final book in the series, "Mockingjay."
I have four other books that I bought with gift certificates that I got for Christmas that are sitting on my nightstand waiting for me to start reading them. And, of course, I have my own book waiting for me to finish the last round of copyediting. Gotta get that thing finished so I can start looking for an agent.
I haven't cut much from it yet. I might just have to send out query letters and see what kind of response I get to my word count. Or go through and read it ONE MORE TIME after I finish this last round and cut some more. Isn't that what editors are for, though? Do they really expect you to have it in perfect condition before it's gone through a read by editors at a publishing house? Probably.
So, New Year's Resolution no. 2: Focus and finish reading my own book. It'll never get published if I never stop editing it!
