Amazing what an extension cord can do for your life.
My bed is on the opposite side of the room where the electric plug is. The light I have in the room doesn’t light up near my bed. So you would put a light near the bed, right?
Except there’s no plug. Well, now, with an extension cord, there is! Let there be light to read by!
So now I don’t have to rely on Kindle to read the books I have. And boy, do I have a ton.
For fiction this time around, I am reading Infinity, by Sherilyn Kenyon. It’s kind of like my book, but my main character’s gay. And my book is told from a first person, not third person limited. My character also is the victim, not the bully. Okay, so it’s not like my book.
For writing, I am reading a book about shame, about how it’s different from guilt. I am changing the end of my book, because guilt and remorse are things that Grim does not feel toward the end of the book. He’s changed – from the bullied to the bully. And bullies don’t feel shame, guilt, or remorse about what they do to people.
Whether that unhappy ending sells is another story. I have an agent I’m going to send a query letter to. At the moment, I’m polishing up the query and plan on sending it out as soon as it’s critiqued. Which hopefully will be next month.
