What I'm Working On This Week

As a professional writer, I have to set my own hours. That means I have to set my own deadlines too. While I'm waiting for an editor to get back to me with notes for the next revision on a book I've already writing, I have to be thinking about what's next. That's why I'm working on a new book this week!

I started last week. Last week I wrote 49 pages, or six chapters. I'd like to do roughly the same amount this week. So that's what I'm working on this week: pages 50-100 of a new novel-in-progress! And no, I'm still not going to tell you what it's about. :-)

What I'm Reading:

Last week I finished Agatha Christie's The Mystery of the Blue Train, and also read Thanhha Lai's Inside Out & Back Again. I enjoyed them both! Now I'm reading The Tomb by F. Paul Wilson, an adult novel about a guy named Repairman Jack who "fixes" problems other people have.

Remember that reading lots of different books--in different genres and by different authors--is one of the best ways to find your own voice as a writer!
