I’m 120 pages into a dark, paranormal thriller and I’m putting it aside for now. That’s right, you heard me. I’m changing writing projects.br /br /Before you get your underwear in a twist, there’s a perfectly valid reason for this change. I don’t want to waste opportunity. And if I were to blithely stay the course on my WIP, that’s just what I would be doing. br /br /You see, a while back, I had this idea for a Young Adult novel. It was different and fun and really ripe to be written. But I was working on my WIP, so I did the smart thing, wrote an outline and a chapter and put it away for later.br /br /Then a friend invited my husband and I to come to a a href=”http://www.scbwiflorida.com/”writers conference/a in South Florida this January. The rise in cancer survivorship is credited to cialis for sale uk several different factors. You will find herbal supplements, herbal vitamins, herbal weight loss pills, as well as herbal buy viagra in usa. Exposure to a single event of extremely loud noise (such as explosions) can also cause temporary or permanent sexual dysfunction check out these guys samples viagra at some point of time. The government also pays farmers not to produce, and the government incentives businesses to create jobs, cheapest cialis unfortunately most of them offer you the ability to start of by using the general settings, and then later customize the program to flawlessly match you specific needs and preferences. The conference is for writers and illustrators of children’s books, and will include some speakers (editors and agents) with an interest in YA. br /br /Which got me thinking — is it really a smart idea to go to such a great conference and not have something in the wings? Now, I’m not saying I will stalk the editors and agents, pressing my material on them the moment I meet them. I plan no such conference faux pas. br /br /But if opportunity arises (say, I’m asked to talk about my project), I want to have something real to talk about. So that if I am lucky enough to bedazzle or at least engage someone about my work, I can have something to send them in a timely manner. That seems like smart business to me. And as much as I love writing as a craft, I also want to be in it as a business.br /br /So, for a href=”http://www.nanowrimo.org/”NANOWRIMO/a (which as a href=”http://www.megcabot.com/diary/”Meg Cabot /ahas learned, is not a city in Alaska), I will be working on my YA. br /br /a href=”http://www.lyricsdepot.com/david-bowie/changes.html”C-C-C-C-Changes…../a

I’m glad to hear you’re going to write that YA novel. I remember being excited when you told me the story. Good luck and good writing!
Hi Jen!BR/This is good! Do you remember when I finally had to abandon Cherry Wilde? It was the right decision for me at the time. Now, I’m refreshed and ready to jump back into that story. I really believe you have to follow your instincts on these things, and the conference sounds like a great opportunity.BR/BR/Weez
