Hmpf

It's been a while. I missed one of my What's up Wednesday posts! Oh noes!

I think I just got really busy with work and real-life stuff.

Other than that I'm just working on new projects. I did get a chance to meet my wonderful agent, Adriann Ranta in New York. We had a nice time over coffee. Really psyched to have her as my agent.

Plus, I got some books! These are all from Adriann's clients. Looking forward to reading!

I'm finishing throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas right now. I plan on reading as much contemporary YA as I can this year. My tastes run to the fantastical and I'd like to get a little more perspective on the contemporary category.

That's up with me. How about you?

Oh, and I'm glad that Lost Girl and Being Human are back on. Two of my guilty pleasure shows!

What's up Wednesday 2014

Happy 2014 to all. Ok, let's do this. What's up Wednesday.

What I'm reading
Finishing Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas. I really like it. It's fast-paced and has some really good world-building. I'm also reading Skellig by David Almond. 

What I'm writing
I am working on a YA novel right now. It's a major overhaul of an existing work. I guess it's YA fantasy, but it only has one very crucial fantasy element in it, so I feel it's actually more contemporary YA than fantasy.


What inspires me right now
Having a lot of time off over the holidays was great. It proved to me how much I can really get done. So I'm still riding on that high, as well as getting back into the real world crap.

What else I've been up to 
My MG novel should be going on submission soon, but I don't think I'll be blogging about it. Just crossing my fingers and hoping for the best.

I also joined a great community of kidlit writers. It's called the Enchanted Inkpot. Check it out.

My goal this year is to read more contemporary YA. What about you? I hope the Muse shines her light on you this year.
