This
coming Monday I have to submit something to our Writer’s Caravan group for
critique. Every month we take turns featuring different members, and this month
is my turn. I can submit anything I like to them, and we’ll discuss their
feedback at our next meeting. I have no idea what to submit! I’m finished with
Book 4, and haven’t started much of Book 5. I have some other projects brewing
in my head, but haven’t sat down to formulate them yet. I need to think about
what I want to pursue in my writing and what I’d like feedback on. I’ve been so
wrapped up in Sherlock Academy for so many years. It’s strange and a little
scary to think of writing something new. And not just writing something new,
but creating something new completely from scratch. Even when I start to write
a new Academy book, I’m not completely creating everything from scratch. I have
a whole world with settings and character and backstory to work with.
Gulp
It’s
definitely time for me to grow and stretch as a writer, which means starting
over completely from scratch.
I
feel the same way when I think of having another baby someday. I finally got a
handle on Westly. I know him pretty well, we have a routine, I’ve worked out
some kinks in parenting. Having a new baby means starting all over again. And
that’s a scary thought as well.
Sigh
I’ll
take one new thing at a time, starting with my writing. A new baby will have to
come later.
