Quick Writing Update
I finally have to admit that I’m a little stuck in the rough draft of SHATTER ME. I need to step back, reevaluate and do some more outlining. I have a pretty good outline in my Virtual Post-It Notes, but I think this is going to take some sitting down with a pen and note cards. I want to make sure I’m going in the right direction with this one before I keep writing. Something isn’t working right, and I just have to figure out what it is.
So, while I’m doing this, I’m going to turn my focus back on CLASH. I need to finish revising this one. Lately, in order to avoid SHATTER ME, I’ve been fiddling with it. So, I think I’m just going to turn full focus on it so I can finish getting it into shape. Then, I can send it over to my agent to get her thoughts on it.
I can see finishing this up pretty quickly. A week or two. And then I’ll be back to first drafting. I won’t be done by May 12th like I originally hoped, but I still hope to have it done sometime in June.
And that’s it. Just a quick update on my progress. I’m off to a job interview now. Here’s hoping it goes well!

Often times, if you leave one story to work on another, the other story gets jealous and starts begging you to come back. So your plan will most likely work very well!
Keep plugging along. I know you’ll wrestle Shatter Me to the mat and whip it into shape. (Like I’ll be doing with FG or EQ or Nano.)
Good luck on the interview. All my positive vibes are headed your way. :hugs:
You’ll make it! I think Leonard Bishop said (but don’t quote me) that being bogged down is a sign of growth. You’re developing even further as a writer, and that’s why it’s difficult. Eventually you’ll break through.
I know for my adult fantasy WIP, this is the case. I never knew you could be terrified over your own work…
Good luck with the job interview!!!
