So far my novel "Stalked" has been edited up to about chapter 10 by the wonderful Karin Simpson who is the Head of the English Department at Sutton High School. I'm waiting anxiously for her grade eleven's to critique my first five chapters!
I had a bit of a set back last week when my MacBook decided to crash and I lost a week's worth of writing. BOO. But that's what you get for not backing up everyday! I thought every couple of days would be okay to back up my work to our home server but apparently that's not good enough. Now on the advice of my husband I am working in Google Dropbox. It saves all my work online so if my computer ever crashes it's all there.
When my manuscript is all edited and pretty looking I can't wait to start the submission process again. It's not for the faint of heart I'll tell ya. Long wait times and rejection letters are bound to come. I'm ready. Bring it.

I've been chosen!
I've been asked to attend and speak at the York Region Writer's Guild workshop in May. I'll be talking to teenagers who love to write about my experiences so far with writing/editing/submitting/agents/publishers. I'm not an expert by any means but I can tell them what I've been through and we'll go from there! Also it never hurts to try and build a fan base for my young adult novel "Stalked."
