I’m sitting in that space of having finished a project, but I still have to go back and weave in the loose ends. Maybe seam a few things together. Then I’ll still have blocking to do.
I did it. I finished my first book. Now I’m editing before sending it off to a friend for their thoughts and proofing. Then, to see if my husband and another friend will read a more polished version.
I am hoping to find an agent. Start putting feelers out when I think I’ve got it put together well enough.
This was originally a one book idea. Then I started writing some backstory and decided to expand to a six book series. Now, what was going to be book one is a prequel trilogy. I’ve got two books of story to get to the beginning of the first book.
The other main character will be getting a prequel trilogy as well. That’s taking shape in one area of my brain. Right next to this first trilogy still clarifying itself. Kept warm by the three books dancing in their future of finally meeting and beginning their dark journey of healing.
My friend was right. On certain matters, my friend is always right.
Off to go edit. To weave in those loose ends of plot and sew the seams together for a nice, clean flow. Getting it all ready for friends to help with blocking and hope someone takes enough interest to sign me on while I get to work on the next novel.
