Tyro is becoming a little work-like now. This is where I have to hold steady. I have to remind myself this is only a draft – this is nowhere near being ready to be sent out for consideration. Heck – I’m only on chapter five of the manuscript and chapter nineteen on the outline, but I feel like this isn’t living up to its potential. I need to hold onto this feeling when I begin the editing process.

For the most part, I am following the schedule that I’ve put up for myself – nine hundred words for lunch, nine hundred words after dinner and a sensible snack (usually a bowl of ice cream) . I am going to, at the very least, finish this novel on time at the end of June. After that, I don’t know if I am going to work on the sequel or focus my attention on something else. I do have two finished novels that I need to edit and get out there. I think I might edit those down on the weekends after I get my mandatory words in.

There’s not much else going on. I am just up to my hips in work – might toss my hat into the ring for YA novels. I’ve gotten stuck on another idea and I might put that in a couple of books. I don’t think it’s going to be more milage from the other books, but we’ll see. I just need to get more productive this year. Really start hammering out the material.

Well – that’s really all for now. Wish me luck in getting the stuff out.
