I just sent my agent a revision outline for my manuscript VICKY. It look longer than I would have liked to complete it, because, life. But also…I have to admit that as I was working on it, I got the common writer syndrome of “Look! Something shiny over there!” In other words, I got an idea for another manuscript that I want to write.
I won’t say too much about the new idea here, but I’d just finished reading another YA novel that portrayed the issue in a way that differs from how I see it. “I mean, yes, it’s like that,” I mused to myself as I thought about the book, “but what about this? And that? And THAT?!?!” The logical conclusion? I need to write it as I see it, in a way that makes me happy and satisfied. And I’m ready! Let’s do this! ….but, oh yeah, my current WIP (work in progress).
Well, one thing that propels forward motion is looking ahead, right? Maybe I’ll be able to steal a few moments here and there to jot down some big and small ideas for this new manuscript. And then when the time is right — I’ll be ready.
