# OF WORDS WRITTEN THIS WEEK: 3,172
I’m proud to say a lot of stuff got done this week. It’s about time.
I completed the outline for THE GHOST WRITER, and along the way figured out some details that I couldn’t quite decide on before. I’m excited to get started on it, but I’m also completely distracted by writing SHADOW. The scenes are vivid and won’t leave me alone. Plus, the third and fourth books in the Siren Saga (AKA: sequels to GLOW) are begging to be outlined. There’s too much story playing in my head and I need to get it down on paper before it disappears!
Most impressive is the fact that I buckled down and revised my GLOW synopsis. And I submitted it to my critique forum. And received feedback. The revision cycle is about to start again, but I’m much closer this time. One critic commented that I include too many characters—looking over it again, I can see that the advice is spot on and how I can take them out and still make it work. It will probably never be perfect, but I’m going to try!
Random Fun Fact: I love Shakespeare’s Hamlet. So much so, that I’m making it the play the theatre tries to put on in THE GHOST WRITER. The antagonist in the story is not at all happy about it, but you’ll have to read it when it’s finished to find out why!
Next week’s goals:
- Revise GLOW Synopsis one more time (I hope).
- Finish Chapter 1 of THE GHOST WRITER,
- Get another chapter in SHADOW done.
- Start outlining GLIMMER (Book Three in the Siren Saga).
