What am I working on this week? Well, I just finished some things last week that I had to turn in to editors, so this week is all about making up a new story! This might be my most favorite part of writing--coming up with the story!
This will be book two in a trilogy, which means I know some of the characters really well already. And I know big things that have to happen (and be revealed) in this book, so that's helpful.
But what happens from chapter to chapter? How do the characters grow and change? What fun can I have with them, getting to the big stuff? That's what I get to sit around and dream about all afternoon!
Did I mention I get paid to do this?
What I'm reading:
I finished my latest Patrick O'Brian sea tale, Desolation Island, and now I'm reading Seraphina by Rachel Hartman. It's fantastic! I'm only 25 pages or so from the end, and I already want to read the next one. (Which isn't out yet, of course!) After that, I have Newbery winner The One and Only Ivan in the stack. Good stuff awaits!
