With book two finished it has been tempting to take some time to sit back and relax unencumbered by the pressures of performance. This time around I am trying not to do so. Since it is my desire to expand my audience as much as possible, I have been seriously pursuing the idea of getting an agent. There isn't much else to say at this point, since I haven't finalized my query letter or chosen a list of agencies yet.
Currently, I am trying to create a more solidified roadmap of what I would like to do with the rest of the series beyond Act 1. I have a lot of ideas mulling around in my head which have been difficult to get down on paper. Despite that, I think I am making headway on the project and I am confident I will soon be in a position to better describe the story as a whole - as a project with many different steps. I feel it is always best to lay out the steps I would like to take before I proceed so I can develop some kind of plan for how to achieve those goals.
Getting this roadmap finalized and putting together a solid query letter are my two highest priorities at the moment. After that, I need to sit down and do some serious research on agencies to get a list together.
The two main distractions from these tasks are cleaning [+ looking for a new place to live] and finishing work on my new desks. I try to keep these from interfering too much with my daily work, but one of the curses of being at home is the constant need to attend to other concerns. For those who may have noticed, this post represents a significant change in the attitude of Functioning ChuMesa. I felt it was appropriate to give it a more personal air in line with the overall evolution of my writing philosophy.
