Well, I’m getting the chance to practice what I preach. I’ve said that the most important part of being a writer is actually writing, butt in chair, day in and day out. Right now it would be very easy for me to slack off. I have one proposal and a full MS in my agent’s hands to shop around, and I have no outstanding contractual commitments. I could just sit back and let life and the day job take over. . .
But I’m not. The counters aren’t going to change for a while because I’m working on outlines and proposals. But, once I have at least two more proposals ironed out, I’m going to start writing a new novel, contract or not. And I don’t have any idea what it is yet.
