Title: Chewing my nails... It's ready. Interested in reading?
Post by: meg_evonne on November 08, 2010, 09:37:45 PM

I'm about to print off the YA and send it in for manuscript read. Thankfully, she gave me an unlimited time frame! It's now 60,235 words and is a high concept young adult magic realism. It's a real roller coaster ride and aimed at the youngish side of YA.

If you have an interest, let me know and I'll get it off to you.

The one thing that I know for sure...  I've learned a lot.  A LOT. Thank you to all of you.

Keep writing all!  Meg

Thank you all. Enjorous--as much as you wish to put into it.  If you want to read for the shear joy ride, I'll be glad to send it.  Just let me know when the tracks get bumpy or the wheels stick, or if you'd like the thrill to run longer here or there.

Apocrypha send me your e-mail via pm if it isn't on your profile? I'll check after posting this.

RobJN, don't you know it! Actually it's all charted out and Book II is 3/4 rough draft complete and outlined fully. Book II is outlined and I test drove a 1/4 of it to see how it flowed.  There are five in total, BUT...

It's time to market this one and move on to something new.  Several projects are trying to take roost in my head at once. One or a combination of several will pop out after New Year's.  Surprisely, an SCA picture book is holding most of my attention. I've never tried one.  This might be the time.  I've also got a backlog of crafts and holiday gifts to crank out, and a new grand-child on the way.  :-)  This grandma is a very happy camper.  In fact, my son and his wife are buying a home, closing Dec 13th!

Snowleopard and Oz---thank you!  

Meg

Well in that case send it on over!
