Update 9/2

Posted on by Kassandra Carrillo

This week is just an update on what will be coming next. As we all know, National Novel Writing Month is less than two months away. As such, I will start to plan my novel and all that good stuff so expect a lot of posts about that. I started creating a new blog for NaNoWriMo 2016 so I can have everything organized. However, I’m unsure if I’ll be linking the posts between both sites or just using one. I haven’t decided yet.

 I’m also planning on sending out a second batch of query letters for my novel, Clan of Ash. Hopefully, this time around I get a response. If not then, I’ll just keep trying or work on another project. 

For right now, those are the two major things in my life. Well, that and tiday half price books has a 20% sale going on that’ll I’ll be checking out. I’ll still be writing and editing my other project but for right now my nanowrimo novel and Clan of Ash take priority.

Updates on Life

I didn’t post anything Friday because I was without WiFi for an entire week and I had no signal on my phone. In order to compensate, I’ll post something today and continue with my regular schedule on Friday.

A few months ago I finished my manuscript and edited as far as I could with a lot of help by my friends. I am happy to say that I sent out a few query letters a couple of weeks ago and I’m waiting anxiously for a reply. Or in some cases, no replies at all. It’s not like I don’t have much hope but I’m being realistic. A contract isn’t going to land on my lap though a girl can hope.

Thinking back on writing this novel, I started it writing during NaNoWriMo 2012 and I was able to finish. After three years a few months, I was able to finish the rewrite and it’s been such a long journey. I never thought I would finish because school had its priorities but somehow I made it to the end. So, now I’m writing the second book and preparing for the long road of rejection and writing but it is a good feeling. After all, I don’t want to be anything else but a writer.
