I’m a bit late for YA Highway’s Road Trip Wednesday, but it was a good question so I’ll tackle it anyway: Quarterly check-in: we did one in March and one in July. Now that we’re 3/4 of the way through the year, how are you doing on your goals?
Writing
So, I have three projects ongoing, and they’re all at different stages.
DIVIDE THE SKY: Young Adult Fantasy. Stepping off the school roof was supposed to fix Tyler’s problems, not land him right in the middle of a war between angels.
Status: Currently out on submission.
ALL THE BROKEN THINGS: Young Adult Urban Fantasy. Military engineer Anna will need to use her wits and robot army to fight off a bloodthirsty Wendigo stalker.
Status: Undergoing Revisions. Hope to have this round of revisions done by end-of-year.
LEVIATHAN RISES: Young Adult Urban Fantasy. Pickpocket and vagabond Tuesday tries to stop a homicidal seamonster that’s on a mission to purge the world of sinners.
Status: Finishing off the first draft. Hope to have this done in the upcoming months.
I’m working on a new title for LEVIATHAN RISES and I’d like to hear your opinions. If you can spare a moment to vote on the poll below, I’d really appreciate it.

Blogging
I haven’t been keeping up as much as I’d like, due to circumstances outside of my control (this infernal illness, for one thing, plus other personal stressses). But I still drop by when I can, and I still get to hear from the usual awesome crowd in the comments, so I’m content. :)
Reading
Still on-target for this, thanks to a writers block reading spree last month!
Love this post. I find I accomplish more when I monitor my goals regularly. I need to do this. :)
Thank you for stopping by, writefully_so! I do love tracking things. It’s nice to have a reminder of when I *should* be done this and that project, though I try not to stress if I don’t meet my goals.
Best of luck with the submission process! Eeee, how exciting!!! :D :D :D SIGN ME UP FOR A SIGNED FIRST EDITION PLEASE, TA!
I really like Leviathan Rises! Keep it :D
Oooh and I totally suck at e-mailing you and offering my beta reading services but I am soooo up for it!
I’m paranoid about the similarity of “Leviathan Rises” to the sci-fi novel “Leviathan Wakes”, haha. Completely different titles, but still, I fret.
Wow Emma, you’re amazingly far with all three projects, kudos to you! (I know this is hardly the place for it, but I’d really like to know what you think of all the new things that have been announced for Pokémon X & Y ;D )
I am SO EXCITED about all the new developments! The Mega forms are great fun, and slightly Digimon-y which pleases me. Also I really love MegaMewtwo’s design.
It’s really cool that we’ll get to have the original Pallet Town starters as well. I can’t wait for X & Y! :D
