Feel free to update the NSG Work in Progress thread with your current projects. Although we can report on any number of things, here is a list of suggestions (suggestions welcomed).

Last Week's Goals

Still reading, but I have done some minor outlining the last couple days.

My goals for next week:

  • Read
  • Outline

Continue reading. I'm starting to debate whether I want to start doing some Young Adult novels. I haven't read much in that genre so it could be tricky for me.

What did I learn this week?

Nothing this time.

It was a slow week for me, writing-wise. I got some feedback on my query and short synopsis, and I'm struggling with how (and whether) to incorporate it. The longer synopsis is still pretty hopeless, and I'm debating whether I even need it. I did write about a page of a short story, and I'm trying something new, beginning each writing session with a writing prompt to get the words flowing. 3 days so far on that.

Next week, I want to polish my query and short synopsis (really, this time), and get my list together of which agents to query for my first round. I might start the final polish of my manuscript.
