My own writing, take 2
Okay! So I have dropped out of my Young Adult critique group. This was not a spur of the moment decision, much intellectual and emotional work went into it. The end result of said work was that--duh--I should be working on my own novel.
Of course I'll be working with Collin on projects too. One of the reasons I married him: we both want to write. But he has been such a pain in the ass about me rewriting the fantasy that I am just going back to being the wing-man on that. Did I mention I had to write THREE versions of the first chapter for him before I got his okay, and he really didn't like that one much???? Gack.
The other important thought I had is that I shouldn't write something fun, fantasy, vampire, etc. I should write something important to me. I've been re-reading the Sandman comics, and I really want to write something big, that is important to me. Not some throwaway junk that will go straight to paperback.
So that's where I am at now. I hate being a flake, so I will try to stick to it this time. No more easy outs.
