"Welcome to the fun! I think the great thing about being at the beginning of your first draft is that the first draft DOES NOT HAVE TO BE GOOD. It just has to get written. Finishing even a crappy first draft is a huge accomplishment, so…"

Comment by Karoline Barrett on April 14, 2012 at 11:42am: Thanks Brenda! Not giving up--just a little frustrating. Time to start my next one!

Comment by Brenda Moguez on April 14, 2012 at 9:36am: Best, Karoline... Don't give up

Comment by Karoline Barrett on April 14, 2012 at 4:25am: I am in the process of shopping my first novel to agents. Currently, one has the full ms. and one has a partial.

Comment by Suanne Schafer on April 11, 2012 at 9:24pm: I have one finished novel at 130,000 words being revised. A 2nd novel at 62,000 that is almost finished. In addition, two short stories that I am sending out. A young adult novel barely started. A novel set in Rwanda with about 3500 words written so far. A novel about my grandmother. A sci-fi novel. All going at once. Also a shapeshifter novella. When I get bored or stuck on one, I just move to the other.
