As I said before I decided to work on a new book while my friends read the latest draft of my novel. I gave copies to my sister and her best friend because they are both writers. I also plan on giving a copy to one of my students who is a great writer; next will come my sister-in-law who's an avid reader, I gave a copy to Mr. Reyes, the principal of the school where I am working; he loves books and I've talked to him about my writing. Last but not least my twin sister.
While they are reading the book I decided to work on my new book. One day while driving in a car I stated to think about a girl sitting in the back seat of a car. She was a teenager and worried about life as a kid. She never felt like she fit in and then I discovered why- it's because she's an alien. That's all I can say because I don't know who she is yet. My goal is to finish a draft by the end of the summer. My goal for my first book is to wait two months for my readers to finish it. I can't wait for everyone. I figure if they really want to read the book then they should be able to do it in two months and during that time I will just keep writing. Once the two months are up I'll get my notes and complete the last draft of my book, then I plan to send it to my Aunt Hazel who use to proofread for a newspaper. Once it's checked for typos I will start submitting query letters to agents in hopes of getting representation and someone to submit the manuscript to publishing and film production companies in the hopes of getting a book and film deal.
Set yourself goals; don't beat yourself up if you don't meet them just set new goals and try again. Remember just keep writing!
