My probl...I think you should always trust your gut!<br />My problem is, i have to stick with ONE story at a time. So, although I have MANY stories (and even a second series semi-plotted) I still only feel the urge to work on my current trilogy...<br />I have a bloggy friend that is writing 5 or 6 books right now... some in plot stage, some in writing stage, some in editing stage... I dont know how she does it. But i couldnt. I have to stick with one story (and one world) at a time. <br /><br />I guess everyones mind just works different! either way, Im sure things will work out eventually!!<br /><br />How is the Querying going?? You have been querying for a little while now, right?Mrs. Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13071346437077008455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5190412120537448720.post-9379944045642868102013-01-21T05:38:27.607+02:002013-01-21T05:38:27.607+02:00Always trust your gut. ;)Always trust your gut. ;)Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10680066584646789184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5190412120537448720.post-42345898950656180552013-01-19T10:17:56.323+02:002013-01-19T10:17:56.323+02:00That makes sense.
