Maybe next year for both of us!LindaBudzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09290094983584931044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4437676309202233261.post-54305506318058704452007-08-12T07:36:00.000-07:002007-08-12T07:36:00.000-07:00Gail your dummy looks great!

The book I just finished was one of those. I was working on my first YA when this idea found its way into my brain and wouldn't leave me alone. So, I kept tucking away little notes on the idea while I continued to work on my book. Once I got the first draft done, I let it sit while I started work on the second book. Then I did a revision of #1 and then dove into the new book. <BR/><BR/>So here I am, done with #2 done (and it's my best work ever!) I don't know how you choose what to work on. I just let things gel as they needed to.<BR/><BR/>Good luck with your dummy!Ghost Girl (aka, Mary Ann)https://www.blogger.com/profile/10104992485564788542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4437676309202233261.post-68228681083486895112007-08-10T07:41:00.000-07:002007-08-10T07:41:00.000-07:00I work on whatever project my mind is thinking of ...I work on whatever project my mind is thinking of and bugging me with. If I don't care about it at the time, and do it because I have to, then it isn't very well done. Sometimes when you get a new idea it is better to do that one than to wait and do it later - might not be as "fresh." If I have a deadline set I will work overtime and do both.<BR/> Gail - your work is excellent. Agents and publishers should be ringing your phone off the hook!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
