Right now? Revisions.
Back at the end of August, i signed with Jonathan Lyons of Curtis Brown, Ltd. I'd queried him (and, of course, several other agents) about representation for my novel, THE DECADENCE PAPERS. So the first thing that happened after signing was that he and his assistant, Sarah Perillo, gave me a list of suggested revisions that i might consider making to the manuscript before we proceed with seeking a publisher. (Who am i kidding, before *they* proceed, since i'll mostly be twiddling my thumbs waiting to hear back and climbing the walls.)
And, i felt that all of their suggestions were totally on-point, like the kind of great feedback you get from some classmate or prof you totally respect in grad school or something, the kind of suggestions that just opened a door in my mind about where the manuscript could be improved or more deeply developed.
So, this past month i've been getting down to beeswax on those and i am SO CLOSE to being done, i can practically taste it.
