This week was all about following up on my visit to New York. The trip went so well, it left me with plenty to do, which is really a wonderful problem to have. Times like this motivate and stimulate me; when I know an editor’s interested in something I’ve talked about, it pushes me to work harder and faster to finish follow-up materials that could lead to a sale. It pushes me creatively, too; I think I do some of my best work under pressure. Now, I just need to finish a few things up over the weekend and send them before my next travel rolls around. In other words, I have to wrap up the current follow-ups before next Friday, when I leave for another workshop.
That’s right, another writing workshop. Like the one in May, this will take place in Lincoln City, Oregon. Once again, I’ll be studying under Dean Wesley Smith and Kristine Kathryn Rusch, and it should be an excellent experience. I’m looking forward to it. I’ll write more about it as the workshop gets closer, but for now, it’s time for bed. See you soon.
