| When do you think they'll churn out a remake of this?? |
Hello, my pretties! How is everyone?? I've had an entirely crazy month so far, working on my new book that takes place in Tokyo and writing some stories for Nat Geo, and let me tell you, they have the coolest editors EVER!
I'm in a great mood not only because it's Friday, but because THE WHITE ASSASSIN, Book II in the Nightshade Chronicles got a nice review from Kirkus! Until they publish it next month, you can't see it unless you're a subscriber, but I was so shocked (and relieved). Sequels are really tough to write. My editor told me a sequel has to actually be more special than the first book. Wow, was she right! I never put much thought into that until I actually had to write one. I can't wait to dive into Book III, though I fear it might kill me! :)
You are right, sequels are hard, just begun my first and it took ages to get it going!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the review!! Looking forward to the White Assassin!
ReplyDeleteCarole, they really have to be perfect. It can never be too easy of a story or solution! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Shelley!! I'm so anxious! :)
Wow, Hilary! I'm thrilled with your success. You're awesome! So much has gone on the last couple months. Sorry for my lack of support. It's amazing the changes life brings and how hard it can get. So you're writing for Nat Geo as well? How cool is that! I'm on pins and needles for White Assassin.
ReplyDeleteJared, you are so nice! I have been lacking in the giving of support myself for like the last year! Life has gotten nuts! In a good way, but nuts! I keep trying!! :) How is the writing going?? I hope really, really good! :)
ReplyDeleteWonderful job with the review! That must have been so cool! WriteOnCon was awesome and I finished the first draft of my first novel so I'm feeling pretty good :D
