Work In Progress Update: Home Stretch
Credit for Picture
I'm at 57,000 words in my WIP, Desert Nomad, and I feel like I'm in the homestretch! I started writing it in November, and last month I wrote 20K, so if I keep up with my word count goal, I'll be done at the end of this month. I have the outline for the rest of the chapters all planned out, and now it's just a matter of finishing it.
I went on Query Tracker today and did a search for agents representing Science Fiction and Romance, which I think is the best fit for Space Opera and there was quite a few of them listed! Just doing the search made me excited. This will be the fourth book I'll query. I did get full requests on the other three, but no takers. Maybe this one will be it!

Crossing my fingers for you. Good luck as you race to the finish!
Thanks for that link, Aubrie! I've built up my own list over time, but I'm sure I've missed agents that might be good bets.
And best of luck, too.
I'm also crossing my fingers for you! Good luck:)
Good luck! *crosses fingers* I know you'll be able to do it. :)
I really hope so! Congrats on reaching the home stretch! I love that feeling.
Woo hoo - here's hoping it all goes smooth to the finish. And, wishing you lots of luck - may this time be the time!!
Wohoo! Home stretch! 20k words in a month is fantastic, I'm sure you'll finish, soon. I'm about to re-query my 3rd novel (I sent out a couple for it but soon realized it needed some changes before really trying.) So we should make a club of people who have queried more than one novel :-P
That's so exciting! I can't wait to hear what happens next. Feel free to send me an e-mail with anything new.
Crossing everything for you. I hope this is the one!
QueryTracker is on my list to hit before Nationals in July. Getting nervous.
How exciting! Congrats, Aubrie! And BTW, you have an award over at my blog. :o)
Best of luck! Keep up the great pace -- it'll feel amazing when you're finished!
Best of luck Dahling, :D I'm sure they'll snap it up in no time.
I wish you success! Good luck.
Good luck, chickadee! A good space opera is just the ticket in the river of today's current fiction offerings, methinks.
You can do it! Just keep plugging.
Congratulations! GOt my fingers crossed for you as you cross the finish line!
Ooo, exciting.
So, I started this post 3 hours ago and got distracted...hum.
Keeping my fingers crossed for you.
CONGRATS on the word count!!
Sending you all kinds of good luck vibes. :)
Happy Weekend!
Love,
Lola
Yay for getting close to the finishing line! Fingers crossed for you. Happy writing!
Great joh, Aubrie. That's really awesome.
Aubrie, great progress. I'm so jealous cos all I've done over the past several weeks is less than 2000 words. In my defence, I've been doing revisions, but still ...
Good luck with the agent search. Let us know what happens
