To be honest, I was a little scared to try the redraft. I wondered: would it work? Was this a crazy idea? One week in, and I think the word count speaks for itself.
I should be clear that I’m not copying what I already have in the first draft. Even scenes that stay mostly the same need to shift in subtle ways–characterization, world-building, and what-have-you. I have sudden thoughts, such as: Wait! I need to introduce the poodle!
I also received a check this week for a story I sold a while back. In the memo line was:
For Incriminating Evidence
Incriminating Evidence is the title of the story. Still. It feels slightly illicit.
And, speaking of other stories, I got a couple out the door as well. So, all in all, it’s been a good week.

I have recently queried 9 agents (yesterday actually) for my new book that I am writing. I really want to be with a traditional publisher. But, if not, I will probably end up self-publishing although I don’t really want to.
