July Writing and August Goals
Aug. 1st, 2021 09:39 amThis was a big month for Briarley: it got a gushing review on Smart Bitches, Trashy Books AND it reached 100 ratings on Amazon, so I posted the original Briarley epilogue on my author website to celebrate.
I finished my revisions on David and Robert, and although I’ve been fiddling at it a bit, I know it really is time to get it ready for publication. I’m thinking October. My cover artist has promised a Leyendecker style cover and if that doesn’t sell this book like hotcakes then I’ll eat my hat.
Sleeping Beauty continues to cause problems. I’ve started a new file (this is what I do when I run into insoluble structural problems in a book. Sleeping Beauty is now on its fourth file) and I think FINALLY the structure is solidifying… But I’m still out at sea about the ending. I think that the fairies who showed up at the start of the book need to show up again at the end, and my first thought was that one of the boys will want to stay in fairyland and the other has to draw him out of it with a kiss… But I’m not sure that will work.
