Writing a book and doing nothing with it!
We had a guest over for the afternoon on Sunday and she brought up my little book that I had written last year during NaNo month! Because I completed my word count in that month span I was able to get a copy of my book in print, glances gleefully at bookcase, and quickly noticed there was much to be done on it! I printed out the whole thing from the computer and began the painful process of rereading and writing all over the thing, I even have my notebook to go with the pages, the book and my pen to aid in my quest for an edited, lovely book. Here is the thing though, since I started work I have not had much time to sit with it! But our guest got me thinking about it and glancing at it more and more since then. I really should do something with it! The other thing that has my brain going about is that I received an email from NaNo the other day! It is coming up fast and I want to participate again! I have not done much with the first thing I did but I want to do it again! Stretch my writing muscles to its max and make something great, potentially great, I should say! What would I write about this year, will I succeed as I did the year before and what would I do with it once I wrote it? The other one is still sitting awaiting my undivided attention!
The other question I have rattling in my brain about all this is if I do something with my book, where and how? Will it do ok in a Dutch country as I have written it in English? Should I try in American markets even though I live in Holland? Such questions! Any suggestions would be more than welcome! I am finishing a book I started a bit ago while on breaks at work. I hope that once I am finished with that I can get back into my own book.
I know, a most unusual post today but it was on my mind!
