Ready. Set. WRITE! (Week 8)

HOW I DID ON LAST WEEK'S GOAL
Great! My goal was to critique an MS, and I'll finish today!

MY GOAL FOR THIS WEEK
I'm going to my parents place with the kids this week so I'm keeping my goal light. READ. I want to finish To All The Boys I've Loved Before and then read Otherbound while I'm gone.

ONE PHRASE THAT SUMS UP WHAT I WROTE/REVISED CRITIQUED
Multiple POVs of awesome.

THE BIGGEST CHALLENGE I FACED THIS WEEK
I got two requests from the New Agent contest and I've spent the week stressing over them. I haven't been in the query trenches since last year so I've forgotten how mind-consuming it can be. Augh!

SOMETHING I LOVE ABOUT MY WIP
That it's out of my hands now. At least for a little while.

  1. Out of our hands is a good (and scary!) place for WiPs to be. Sending best wishes! Also, I loved TO ALL THE BOYS I'VE LOVED BEFORE. Hope you do too!

  2. Best of luck querying. The trenches is a great way to describe :) I hope you enjoy some lighter goals this week with reading :) I have that Jenny Han book on my TBR.

  4. Hope the querying goes well! It really is a relief to know that your WiP is out of your hands. While it's stressful being in the trenches, at least fiddling with your story is one less thing to worry about, right? Hope you have a great week!

  6. As I'm about to jump back into querying, I'm remembering how much it can take over your mind! Good luck! :)

    (At least I hope that one line was about my MS ... ehh, I'll pretend it was either way ;))

  12. yay! So glad you got requests! It's scary, but amazing. The query trenches really know how to freak out your confidence, but don't let it stop you from trying to make your dream come true! Have fun at your parents!
