Progress on Madison

I’ve finished a novel.  Madison is finished.   Really, I’ve written three.  The others are marinating in the desk drawer.  But Madison, I want to carry forward over the publishing threshold.  I’m editing it for the third time and it will probably see a few more full edits before I’m through.  I’ve had an editor review the entire thing only to learn that I put the cart in front of the horse with that move.  If nothing else, I consider this will help me understand the process.

I’ve sent out about twenty query letters to as many agents and received several very nice responses. Those responses made it clear that a website is pretty much a mandatory requirement.   I am now spending my summer building a website.  It is a fun endeavor.  I’m learning quite a bit and I am enjoying collecting personal content for it.

Oh, how I am tempted to put Madison in the desk and start a brand-new fresh novel.  I miss the free hand writing with abandon, getting into the writing flow and loosing myself in the process.  So much fun!  But no. I am going to see this through.  I’ll keep you posted on my progress in this author blog space.  Have a wonderful summer.
