Yes, the next book (tentatively titled “Bobby’s Back”) has hit the half-way point. \u00a0Soon it goes to the agent for perusal. \u00a0He wanted to see it when it was partly completed. \u00a0I’ve got to finish the first 1\/3 of the story, about 20 more pages, and then it’s ready for my first submission. The first third in terms of the story arc, that is because it’s the first half in volume of words. AS the first big story about this character there’s a lot of back story that needs to be put in place for it to work. \u00a0That makes the next book about him much easier (and, hopefully quicker) to write.<\/p>\n
Kind of nice having an agent waiting to see the book. \u00a0I’m hoping it’s what they expect and then <\/em>I can call him “my agent<\/em>.” \u00a0And, if not him (and he’s a great guy from what I can tell) there’s another<\/em> agent who’d like to see the book, but only when it’s completed. \u00a0She’s pretty awesome as well. \u00a0This could be very interesting when all is said and done.<\/p>\n Now, what I need is some peace and quiet to just write…… In December? \u00a0I must be on drugs. \u00a0Oh, maybe that has to wait for the end of Santa season. \u00a0But I’m still sneaking in about 2000 words a week and I’m not throwing in the towel. \u00a0God’ll get me through this one as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Yes, the next book (tentatively titled “Bobby’s Back”) has hit the half-way point. \u00a0Soon it goes to the agent for perusal. \u00a0He wanted to see it when it was partly completed. \u00a0I’ve got to finish the first 1\/3 of the …<\/span> Continue reading →<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[59,260,259,167,262,162,55,46,261],"class_list":["post-58","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-writing","tag-agent","tag-bobbys-back","tag-book","tag-commotion-in-the-pews","tag-december","tag-joseph-courtemanche","tag-novel","tag-santa","tag-story"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/commotioninthepews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/commotioninthepews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/commotioninthepews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/commotioninthepews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/commotioninthepews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=58"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/commotioninthepews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":61,"href":"https:\/\/commotioninthepews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58\/revisions\/61"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/commotioninthepews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=58"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/commotioninthepews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=58"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/commotioninthepews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=58"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
