Returning at last to Blood & Fire I managed 972 words yesterday, which, considering with the exception of one day in July I haven’t written anything to it since 30 May is not, I reckon, too bad. There are some interesting plot twists developing in chapter four which I am really excited about developing, and now that I know (kind of) what the ‘final conflict’ is all about (more or less?) makes me a whole lot more positive that I’m going to finish this thing.
And of course upon finishing this thing comes the 64 000 dollar question? Will a publisher like it enough to want to publish it. Will potential buyers like it enough to buy it, and read it? Questions that I dare not even consider now. I like it. I’m enjoying writing it. I think it’s a good story with some good characters, but will anyone else feel the same about it…?
If *you* like it, that’s half the battle. If you didn’t like it, there wouldn’t be a hope in hell that a publisher would like it 🙂 Just don’t get disheartened if the first – even the first twenty – agents/publishers you try turn you down.
