Bad me

I'm being lazy about posting again *sigh* So I'm going to cheat a little today and do a first-of-the-month update on all my projects. I'll do an actual substantive post later ;-)

The Stars Cry Out No More
-I've finally started sending out queries (yay!). One rejection back so far. Now I need to finish up my synopsis and send it out to more agents.

In the Twilight Between
-Still editing, but things are going very well so far. All I need now is a few more beta readers >.>

Lend Me Your Tears
-Dead. I tried to force myself to write it during SocNoc when I really didn't want to. The consequences were fatal and now the story is dead. Seriously bad stuff, but I was looking at it and I think I know where things started to go wrong. So now I know how not to write a story like that (and not to force myself). I'll still keep the main plot idea in the back of my mind for a possible redo later, but for now the story's going to the chop shop of my mind. I've already taken a few of the small ideas from there and used them to patch up and embellish other stories.
In Griffin's writing land, nothing ever truly dies :-)

What the Night Keeps
*New!* This story was SocNoc Plan B. I was planing on saving this story for NaNoWriMo or something like that, but I decided to pull it out early to finish off my word count.
I. Love. This. Story. It's as good as the other one sucked. As soon as I figured out that the story should be told from the Hero's POV everything started to fall into place. I had wanted to do it from the Heroin's POV, but looking back the Hero's POV lets me weave plot secrets much better.

Goals for next month:
-send out at least ten more queries for Stars Cry Out.
-Make progress in editing Twilight Between.
-I'm tempted to write "finish What the Night Keeps" but I think that may be a little ambitious. We'll see, but I'd be happy with just about any progress.

Any progress is good progress :-)
