Up early on a Saturday (bed at midnight every night and up at 7 every morning is hard but has been worth it so far), working on my book. Again, I should be writing about this in my writing blog ( @gabapplewrites<\/a> ) but am lazy. Plus this information is relevant.\u00a0<\/p>\n

My intention is to have the first Fishsticks novel (it\u2019s a standalone, really) finished and sent out by the end of the month. Which is insane, but really necessary. I think I can do it, especially if I dedicate all of my lunch breaks and early mornings to it. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

November will be NaNoWriMo, in which I am writing the fluffy summer romance that came to my head back in April. It\u2019s going to be cute and sappy and so indulgent. And short.<\/i>\u00a0As in, it\u2019s two stories in one, both of which will be 25-30k each. Bunny and Anthony are great characters and I\u2019m thrilled to be writing them. No supernatural twists, just summer romance, camping, and a slice of suicide. Perfect.<\/p>\n

After that, it\u2019s going to be a bit of a waiting game during December. Querying sometimes takes a while, but I only have two agents in mind to submit Fishsticks to. So we\u2019ll just see how that goes, I guess, which will determine the project I work on next.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In the interim of all of that (and this is where this all becomes relevant), \u00a0I will focus on the Dangerous Cute book and a side project or two featuring Pushpin, which was always my intent. Picture books. I don\u2019t want to start the 2nd Fishsticks book until I know what\u2019s going on with the first (that would cause so many nightmares), but I can definitely do some cute kitten art meanwhile. \ud83d\ude00\u00a0<\/p>\n

Pushpin\u2019s ABZs is the one that I started drafting a couple of months ago… not sure what the other one should be. Pushpin plans a party? It\u2019s so dangerous to let him do anything… but oh well.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Also, has anyone else noticed that coffee tastes a lot like the milk leftover from Golden Crisp?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
