Hey everyone!

I haven't written in a really long time, and for that I apologize, even though you all probably have much more important things to do then read whatever I write.

So I'm now trying to figure out my next book which is much harder than I thought. I have two ideas I like but...I want this to be my next real book. I want to stick it through to the end. I don't want to start an idea and halfway through realize it's...well really lame. And it has to have an actual plot not just random points of drama. I've already retired Just Add Water and Lost in Whimsy...before they were even started. That's probably a record for me. I blame it on being pickier about what I write.

But I have to go now and pick something.

I'll write back soon when I have...y'know...something to write.

I don't really want to, but I think I just need to take a break from BE for a while. I have so much going on, I don't want to deal with revisions. I used to say that I couldn't wait until the book was done because editing is so easy. I was wrong. I can't stand going back to work that I loved and realizing it's horrible and mediocre writing. Whatever crap I go through actually writing the book is fine because It's just pure creativity. There's nothing stopping me except for myself. Even though it take longer, when you think about it, it's a lot less work. It doesn't feel like work. Editing is work. So is writing a query letter.

So BE is going on the shelf for a while until I come to terms with the fact that yes, it is work, and agree to do it.

I'm starting a new project that isn't named yet, but I'm really excited about it. I'll write a teaser and post it later I guess.

Night all! Ironically enough, I have to get back to work that's due tomorrow...

Well now I feel dumb

I hate writing query letters. They suck. Really badly. They're the worst things in the world.

Sorry that was just me getting my frustration out. I told you that my latest version of my query was going to be ripped apart. Well it was. And I'm happy that people took the time to help me out, but I'm almost out of ideas on what to write. I'm stripping down the book to one plot point and at this point I'm trying to just make it enticing rather than follow a formula. Because it's not working.

Okay, I have to go dive back in. Wish me luck.
