Another edition of "Things I Learned Today" and another promise that soon I will write a post with actual CONTENT.
-If you're used to writing books OUT of order, like me (I write many distinct scenes, and then stitch them together, cut the stitches, re-order, re-stitch, etc) then trying to write a book IN order can be horrible. Like, finger-hovering-over-DELETE-key horrible.
-I have a shiny new project in the "mulling" stage called THE MANY FATES OF AUGUST ALTER. This is actually the project I posted a small excerpt from last week.
-I start class this week! Experience of Literature and Literature and Film. The commute is 45 minutes each way, so I'll be tearing through some audio books if you have any suggestions.
-If you don't work out hard, and then you work out too hard (like swimming an hour and a half after two days off) you can pull a muscle in your chest that makes breathing not so fun.
-I turned in the first 50 pages of BOOK WHICH WILL HOPEFULLY FOLLOW NW to my agent yesterday evening, and got feedback back at lunchtime today. DAMN. That's all I have to say about that.
-I am still in edits on NW. One day it will be over.
-It's only June (it's June, right?) and I am already looking forward to the Decatur Book Festival in September.
