Critique group tomorrow.
July 6th 2007 14:47
Good morning everyone,
Hope everyone is well today. I posted yesterday how I hadn't read anything for the critique group yet, so what do I do? I let another day go by and I still haven't read it. I must make time today to read the other members work. It is just that I have been so involved in my own writing, that I constantly put it off and haven't gotten to it. It is really wrong of me. Truth is, it is really not that long. We only give each other a chapter or two at a time. I thought the writing was alright, not the type of thing I would buy, but I enjoyed it as a story.It is just that I have a thousand things running through my mind at once and it is tough for me to slow down and just read somebody else's work that have nothing to do with what I want to accomplish. Still, I know it is a responsibility and an obligation, since I would expect the same from them. Even though they both clearly tell me how much they don't enjoy the fantasy genre. I may have to find another critique group one day.
Last night, I was working on query letters to publishers and agents about my non-fiction proposal. I want more than anything to be published and even though I would prefer to write children's books, it is still a step towards that. Again, I am enjoying it. I think I just enjoy writing, no matter what subject or forum it is.
A quick note on my Mets. I haven't vented about them in a couple of days. They have looked dreadful. Way too many old looking players. Even though they won last night, I am very worried about this team. They definitely need an infusion via trade, something to inject some life into them. I am a huge fan and it actually ruins my night when they lose. I know that is silly, but that is the way that I am.I enjoy baseball more than any other sport and the Mets above all other teams. The only thing that might equal my love of the Mets, is my hatred for the yanks. So, if we have a night where the Mets lose and the yanks win, you can imagine my mood. I am still holding out hope that the yanks wont even make the postseason this year. It would allow me to enjoy baseball without worrying about them winning it all. So far so good, but I have a feeling that they will somehow come through it at the end. Let's hope not. Anyway, time to run. Hope everybody has a great weekend.
Later,
Jonathan
