Projects - 2011!

Drinking: Numi Rooibos

Reading: Jane Austen's Emma

How's 2011 treating you so far? Four weeks in, and my guess is it's going to be a productive year.

Here's a list of my current projects and their statuses:

• Three's Company (working title) - A YA about a teenager navigating life and love while being raised in a polyandrous family. Started writing the first draft at the beginning of this year, and at this point I'm halfway through with 32,000 words. This draft will be finished and ready for revisions by the end of February, if I keep going at this pace!
• Butterfly Angel - YA about a girl named Mia with many addictions including drugs, eating disorders, and fame. Status: Complete and querying!
• The Girl from Castlebridge (working title) - A novella set in 1940 about two brothers who take in a runaway accused of murdering her father. It's gone through sooo many phases. It started off as fantasy, then whittled itself into literary fiction, and now it's going through rewrite number 364. Yes, I'm exaggerating, but it feels like 364! It might actually be romance, if I add a couple of steamy scenes. But it could also be YA... anyway. It's in the drawer for now. Writing and querying two other novels is enough for the moment. But this story keeps calling to me...

Oh, and I did take that workshop I mentioned as a resolution! The one about producing multiple novels each year. Score one for me! :-D

Anyway, that's about it. Just wanted to update you all. I'm going back to my writing now.
