What I'm Working on This Week

This is the week I finish the first draft of the new book I'm working on! I've been able to get a lot of pages written, thanks to focused time at the keyboard and a really good outline, which tells me what I'm writing, leaving me only the work of figuring out how to write it. (See this post for more about that.)

I'll still have a lot of work to do on this book after I'm done with the first draft, but just getting something down on paper for the first time is a big deal! I'm pretty excited to have something I can hand off to my first readers.

Also this week, I'd like to send out a few more picture book submissions. I have two picture book scripts I've written that I'd love to find a home for. I may also send out a newsletter this week!

What I'm Reading:

I finished the The Tomb, the Repairman Jack novel I was reading. I enjoyed it. Now I'm reading The False Prince, by Jennifer A. Nielsen.
