Wrote 1 page of novel 2 this morning before work.

Talked query strategy with a published friend of mine. Decided to send out 10 more queries for novel 1

Sent out 2 queries before bed.

8 to go!

I think Jordan Peele is one of the few people alive who could execute adapting this story close to as well as Octavia wrote it and reach a mass audience

My next read is
Sons and Other Flammable Objects
By Porochista Khakpour

No idea what I’m in for beyond the blurbs but it sounds fascinating!

Just finished writing for today.

I wrote in the evening today because I was so enraptured reading Kindred by Octavia Butler on my subway rides, when I usually write.

You need to read Kindred by Octavia Butler.

I just finished it and highly recommend.

It’s brutal and raw and mystical and so complicated.

I need to go back and finish the Lillith’s Brood novels.

Second Novel Progress:

Draft 1.1: 830 words

I had started this project once before but the protagonist I had designed wasn’t working. I’m glad I went back to the outline. My new protag is way better
