Honesty Is The Best Policy
I informed the interested agent yesterday that my novel won't be ready to query until the first of October. She wrote back a nice note saying that I hoped I'll think of her agency when it is ready. I will and I'll also be watching her sales in PM.
I completed another 1000 words last night on the serial and I hit a point where I wasn't sure what I wanted to happen next. I tend to mull plots over in my head after my fingers are done and sure enough, I came up with a pretty decent idea.
The editor's computer is down so I've been sending out only the issues she needs. I believe I'm three issues behind. I need to get caught up as soon as I can. I should have issue 72 completed tonight and I hope to get at least two more issues completed this weekend. Since it is Easter, there are no ball practices.
I'm not sure when I lost count but I think it was the very moment her computer crashed. Three issues isn't bad as six or seven but it is still a heck of a lot of writing.
I haven't heard anything from any of my submissions.
I envy those writers who can handle more than one project at a time. When I first started writing, I found it difficult enough just to switch off the numbers / analysis / and 2 mg spreadsheets that were my life and concentrate on stringing a sentence. I'm past that now, but I struggled with multiple projects in the beginning of the year and have since updated my goals to avoid any conflicts.
I suppose I'll master it one day.
Happy Easter Everyone!

Great news about the agent's continued interest! Keep in touch with her, every three months or so, to keep your name fresh and let her know how it's progressing.
