Writing Diary: September 24, 2004
Sent out an old manuscript, my YA SF novel Star Song, to a couple of fresh markets today; that took up some time. Also had some design work to do for the poster for We’ll Meet Again, the show I’m directing. And also worked on Excalibur Reforged; yesterday I spent most of my writing time figuring out some back story details I should have figured out earlier. Now I’m adding in those details as I revise. Up side: lots of ideas for later in the (fingers crossed) series. Down side: I think I’m going to have to add another POV to the current book.
Oh, well, Harry Potter has proved there’s a market for long YA fantasies…hasn’t he?
