I've completed a new short story called, "Joy Ride." Actually, the title may change but I like this new story a lot. I also started outlining another new short story, which I will start writing this weekend.
I got my fat packet from the Society of Children's Book Writers & Illustrators (SCBWI). I must admit that their discussion boards are rich with resources and intelligent discussions. I'm meeting with a group from one of the local chapters in Santa Monica next Wednesday. The meeting topic will be: Are you hooked yet?
Each person is supposed to bring the first page or first line of a short story/first chapter, or first paragraph of a query to read. Everyone will take turns and the group will critique the opening. We'll also talk about how to hook a reader in one of these openings.
Excitement!
