Not a huge amount to report on the publication
front since last time. My submission is currently under consideration by
a number of agents (i.e. discounting the ones who said ‘no thanks’
straight away, so the ones who are at least thinking
about it), and I’m waiting to hear back from them. This, as you
doubtless know, is something which can take a very long time. Like a
doctor who doesn’t want to be unemployed, you need patience. (Yes, I’m
using up the leftover Christmas cracker jokes. What
do you want for nothing?)
So what have I been doing while I wait? For one
thing, I’ve started writing the sequel to Breaking the Lore. (In my
long-term, finally make it, ideal world there’s a whole series of
Inspector Paris books. Plus agents like having a series.
Watch this space.) I’ve had the basic idea for the second novel and the
kind of things I want to cover floating around in my head for a while,
so I’ve been assembling them into some sort of order. (Aside:
‘Assembling’ being the operative word. I wish I could
say I sit down to write and wonderful prose simply flows out, but it
ain’t like that).
I have to construct stories - think of the elements I
want, work out the order to put them in, determine how to get from one
point to another, then put in dialogue and jokes
to link things together. Writing becomes Lego. I’m pretty sure that
isn’t what they tell you on creative writing courses.) It’s starting to
take shape now, with Paris once more having to work out what these weird
magical creatures are getting up to. When an
agent finally says they want to take on Breaking the Lore and then asks
“Have you got anything else?”, I can go “Yes!”
What else have I been doing? I’ve been hoping some agent(s) will get back to me, but I’m certainly not assuming it’s definitely going to happen. So I’ve been starting to put things in place ready for self-publication as well. That’s all top secret at the moment though, so I can’t tell you any more or I’d have to kill you.
Anyway, back to the grindstone. And as
Vincent Van Gogh might have put it: happy new ear! (That’s the last of
the Cracker jokes. Honest.)

ReplyDeleteFive weeks ago my boyfriend broke up with me. It all started when i went to summer camp i was trying to contact him but it was not going through. So when I came back from camp I saw him with a young lady kissing in his bed room, I was frustrated and it gave me a sleepless night. I thought he will come back to apologies but he didn't come for almost three week i was really hurt but i thank Dr.Azuka for all he did i met Dr.Azuka during my search at the internet i decided to contact him on his email [email protected] he brought my boyfriend back to me just within 48 hours i am really happy.
