A Month Has Passed! Gasp!

Okay, yeah, I'm not going a good job of keeping my blog (this one at least) up to date, and that's totally my fault. I've been in the middle of writing, of reading, of applying for jobs, and dreaming about marrying someone rich and/or famous, so on and so forth. So far, I've written a lot, read some, applied for barely anything, and suffered through a month and a half of living at home with my parents while I wait for something, ANYTHING, to happen.

I've decided to start querying Light starting as soon as I've finished editing the MS. I've had some issues with believability in chapter two which I hope I've resolved, but suddenly while at the dentist the other day, I had a flash of brilliance which led to 10,000 words of a new project since Thursday afternoon. It's a YA ms based on an old manuscript of mine geared towards adults, and it will definitely be in the Edgy category, mostly because I play with themes seen in Light (it's technically the same universe, but the casual reader might not deduct that from reading until book three, maybe). Oh, and this will be a possibly trilogy, too. It's about a girl who dies and thinks she's going to Heaven when in fact it is a bureaucratic dreamland and the angels are actually government workers who make life an interesting nightmare.

Oh, and Lucifer might show up. It's urban fantasy meets a not-so-dystopian-dystopia (it's technically not a dystopia, but it has the same ideas as many dystopias have, especially in YA) meets political drama meets action adventure. And I have a masters degree in a subfield of political science in addition to experience as a federal government intern, so I plan on playing it up to the max. Hopefully it will be done within the next two months and maybe, just maybe, coming to a store near you in a couple of years. But no, my contemporary lit project (Time Traveler's Wife meets something with more action) hasn't died, but it has been pushed aside for now. Hopefully after Eternity (the YA project's first book) is done, it will come back to life.

Okay, I need to write. XOXO!
