May is a bad month for blogging
Hi folks,
As you may have noticed I haven't had much to say this month. I am still writing, but its been at a slower pace these past few due to other commitments. I think I can still hit my target, but this week I will not be adding to much to my word count--if you know what I mean.
One of those commitments resulted from becoming a member of a website devoted to people who write--and read--Young Adult books:
http://yalitchat.ning.com/
So I am getting feedback both on Son of Ogres and Rust. I decided to introduce Rust as a YA book since two of the main characters are teenagers. This doesn't necessarily mean this is how I will market my book to agents, but at least it is a possibility.
I am getting some very useful feedback and I hope I am giving some in return. I haven't doing as much on Gather.com lately... :: Bad James :: ...but there are only so many hours in a day, eh?
Well, I will post more when I have more to say.
Continuing on my write of passage,
James Baron

I'm glad you're getting useful feedback from YAlitchat. It's wonderful. That's how I met the four wonderful ladies I team blog with. I've some of 'Son'. Good stuff. I'll get to 'Rust' when I can. ";-)
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the new YA venture, James. Sounds great!
ReplyDeleteSounds like an interesting site. Hope it brings you lots of new followers. BTW, I love Rust as a title.
ReplyDeleteJames, the new group sounds like a positive thing for you and your book. BRAVO!

ReplyDeleteI have been so focused on other stuff that I feel like I have been away from my Blog and writing in general FOREVER! I hope that you are enjoying the chapters I have published so far, and I am open to any and all feedback on what I have written.

ReplyDeleteExcept for “Son of Ogres” I am really into the one word titles. I can just picture the font on the cover now!
