I received two emails about my queries. One was a pass on Yancy, the other a no on the vamp novel. I'm going to need to redo the query. I know I do. I'm just being lazy at the moment.
Yesterday, I sat at my desk and wrote out a list of the novels I have. They're all in various stages of completion. Six of them I classified as "having an ending." Meaning, I can't say that they are complete just yet. But, then again, even if--when--I get published, you'll probably still catch me making corrections, writing in the margins. The rest of the long list are stories I started but haven't continued, either because I started another project, got sidetracked by school, or lost focus on where I wanted the story to go but haven't yet gone back to re-exam it. I also have a screenplay I was thinking of converting to novel-form (that one doesn't "have an ending"). Jake Gyllenhaal was the image in my mind for one of the main characters because, well, I love him.
I was a little surprised that I had so many. I feel that I've finally learned the discipline to finish, especially seeing as how five of those six "ended" novels I wrote in the past three years. So, now to get myself back to that place when I started them in order to finish them......
Yeah, like I have time.
