So I sent the letter to one agent as it was asked for. Everyone else I'm going to hold back until I hear back from some contests. I want good critiques and to send out the best possible manuscript.
My second manuscript is almost done. First draft needs about 10K and I have the ending playing out in my head. My only issue is my sequel to my first novel is playing loud in my head, and I wrote the beginning of that. The emotional intensity of my first round of characters just took so much. I decided to write a sweeter romance as a second as a means of calming my own nerves and remembering that for every flawed individual there are good souls too. Now my next single title will also feature very flawed individuals, and this just takes more from me.
And in other news, I decided to join Florida Romance Writers. The first meeting is Saturday. It's a goal to get my second novel onto paper around the meeting time. And I'm hoping there is a critique group. So fingers crossed.
I will report on my RWA Orlando experience very soon. There was just alot to digest and so much good stuff. I am planning on New York next year.
Just as my new goal is for people to read my novels in print and start to see my work as a must read. Nora Roberts shall take on Georgette Heyer's role as classic. I will be replacing Nora at the top... lol... arrogant slightly, yes... but it's my new goal and motivation!
