IWSG and How!

December 7, 2016 By C. Lee McKenzie 44 Comments

Thanks Ninja Alex

The awesome co-hosts for the December 7 posting of the IWSG will be Jennifer Hawes, Jen Chandler, Nick Wilford, Juneta Key, JH Moncrieff, Diane Burton, and MJ Fifield!

Talk about being insecure. Well, this IWSG post is the most insecure one I’ve ever done, but I wanted to test out something, and what better place than here among friends? That’s what I kept telling myself. Anyway, in spite of my good common sense, I’m posting my idea this month. What you’ll see is a work in progress with a rough draft of my first Instant Book. If you have some suggestions about how to use this as marketing tool or (Heaven Help Me!) how to create a video, I’d to hear them.

In terms of your writing career, where do you see yourself five years from now, and what’s your plan to get there?
Actually, in five years I hope to see two of my completed young adult novels published. To that end, last year I knuckled down and found an agent, Italia Gandolfo, then I sent her the two books. Now, of course, I’m waiting. But while I’m waiting, I’m finishing up my Alligators Overhead/Great Time Lock Disaster trilogy. So within that five years, I’d like to see these middle grade novels out as a package. That’s the plan. Fingers crossed.
