Every room can be a stage, so let the audience in.

This blog is dedicated to my writing endeavors. I will attempt to give updates on the status of my various projects and, hopefully, motivate myself to make steady progress. My primary project is a novel: Names Have Been Changed, my secondary novels are La Madrastra: or I Knew Cinderella and Untitled Fantasy Novel. My biggest obstacle in finishing any one of these books is myself. My goal is to have Names Have Been Changed finished by Christmas and the other two before the end of 2011. I hope to have an agent by the end of 2011 and to sending my books off to publishers as soon as possible. I've always known I was going to be a novelist, it's time to make it happen. Thanks for the support.

Finished

I finished the first draft of my young adult novel, Exploits of a Stage Name a few days ago. It's 220 pages long and 52,825 words. (Haha, I just reread that sentence and it sounds like a birth announcement.) Anyway, I ran off two copies at Staples and my friend, Carmel has already read it. She claims it made her cry (in a good way), but I need to hear some criticism form someone who doesn't know me.
I submitted the first three chapters to Milkweed Publishers and I am waiting (impatiently) to hear from them.
I have now begun on a new series of young adult novels and I should have some updates on that project soon.
