In for a penny…

In for a pound as they say. This mid-week blog is here to announce that I am officially working on both Project Fox Hunt and cleaning up Project Oak Grove.

I have decided to finish Oak Grove but before I can do that, I need to migrate it over to Scrivener and if I am going to do that, I might as well do a read over. I am going to work on it after I have finished my word count for Fox Hunt and lately I have been getting that done quicker leaving me with time in my evenings to work on other things.

Oak Grove is about a town that has the highest missing persons cases in the country and one day all the missing people suddenly come back. The Sherriff and Deputy work together to find out who these people are and where they have been but none of them can remember. That is except one of them and he’s the long lost missing brother of the Sherriff.

I wrote the first 50K of this novel in 2017 for NaNoWriMo but because I was so burned out by the end of that process, I never picked it up again. I figure that another 40K words will get me to the ending of the story I had hoped to write but let’s see what the read over and edits reveal about that process.

I started researching how to contact literary agents and writing query letters and my goal is to get one of these two projects ready by June to start seeking publication. Oak Grove is a stand alone story but Fox Hunt will need at least three books to tell it’s story.

I am not expecting success in getting published and I will be looking into the world of self publishing too but if I never try, I will fail 100% over what could happen if I try.
