Yeah...

So it's been a while. In truth, I've been so busy with my fire fighter training and just got done with my EMT class. While it's no excuse, I haven't written a single word in over 9 months! 9 months!

That's terrible.

But, ever since getting done with my training, I'm back in the saddle.
- Got myself to a SCBWI (Society of Childrens Book Writers & Illustrators) spring conference and did a little networking.
- Sent out a couple more query letters (another one to Jennifer Flannery & a misfire to Lazear Agency).
- Met Eoin Colfer (of the Artemis Fowl series) and chatted him up about what route I should take. He and his publicity agent were very helpful.

The thing that's hardest for me right now is this: I've got 2 full-length novels written. Are they perfect? No, of course not. Every time I look at them, I want to change little things here and there. What's nagging me is that I've got Book 3 in my head and I just have to write it to get it out of there.

So what do I do? Do I refine Book #1? Just get the word out about Book #1? Do I edit the bejesus out of Book #2? Do I just let them simmer for a while and write Book #3?

I've got a hard time getting myself to do ANYTHING when I feel like I've got too many irons on the stove. Worry about my old stuff or get cracking on something new?

Decisions, decisions.
