#amwriting 2017 in review

OK, the year ain't over yet. But folks on Twitter started this convo in late November, so I figured I'd pick up the thread here. Here's my 2017 writing progress:

• Completed 2nd, 3rd, and 4th draft revisions of The Devil's Wall!!!
• Shared my manuscript with 3 beta readers and got great, helpful feedback
• Joined a YA critique group and met some lovely writers
• Met Heather, my first critique partner, through that group and exchanged some really thorough beta reads
• Got accepted into Author Mentor Match!
• Applied to Pitch Wars and didn't get in...but that's OK :-)
• Submitted my manuscript to 17 agents - and got a partial request from 1
• Wrote most of Finished Diagnosis, my latest novel!
• Did not buy a giant pick-up truck, but did accidentally rent one for a day! And also I got my driver's license this year, so the above pic is my excuse to mention that. :-D
