Wannabe Writers #20

Wannabe Writers is a writing group for the un-published and anyone is welcome to join. It's a place where future authors can ask questions, share stories, and get feedback. Click (here) to find more about how it works.

Where I am in the writing process: I completed my first draft this week! I'd be lying if I said I wasn't proud of myself for finishing this first step (of many) towards publication. Right now I'm taking a bit of break from writing. I have printed out my manuscript for making chapter notes, but I've set it aside for now. My goal is to let the manuscript rest until the ALA conference is over. Once ALA is over (it's two weeks from this weekend), I will continue making chapter notes, and  possibly begin a rough outline for the sequel. 

Once I make the revisions based on chapter notes, I will read it over and revise again before I hand it over to my beloved betas (husband, one of my best friends). I hope to have it in good enough shape for them to look at it by the end of August. Then I will revise again based on their notes, and hopefully start the search for a critique partner in the later part of the year.

My current problems:  No problems this week!

This week's question:  This week's question was given to me by my blogger-friend Swimmer.  She asked about writer jealousy.  

 

I discussed this topic a few weeks ago for my question when there wasn't one. If you didn't catch it, you can read what I had to say here.
