I think I finished my final revision of my MG novel!

I hope I am finished revising. Now the hard part. GRAMMAR and PUNCTUATION. Then hope to find a crit group for MG.

I haven't been active on the blog, but have been working hard on the novel.

Here we go.

I've been busy revising my novel and reading books on the craft. Just finished Plot and Structure, Conflict and Suspense, and Revision and Self-Editing - again - by James Scott Bell.

What are you currently reading?

2014!

The new year is here! My writing goals for last year were to submit at least 12 stories or articles to magazines. I submitted 15 and made my first sale! It was a game submitted to Highlights. They went on to buy three more of my pieces. One was a fiction piece.

I also finished a first draft of a MG novel.

My goal for this year is the same. I will sub at least 12 pieces to magazines, and revise and finish my first novel and write a first draft of my second one.
