Crimebake, hosted by Sisters in Crime New England and Mystery Writers of America, is being held again this year in November in Dedham, MA. Nice because I don’t need to stay overnight as it’s only a 45-minute drive from my house.
Although I wasn’t ready for it last year, they offer a session with agents as long as you register ahead of time. This has put the pressure on me to finish my novel. Experts say you NEVER approach an agent until the book is DONE!
And so, I continue to revise.
Recently, I decided to move the introduction of a character to an earlier chapter. Of course, that changes the story in the remaining chapters… both dialogue and internal thought. But I’m happy with the move, so now I’ll just have to wrestle with the revisions.
And also finalize several scenes toward the end of the story that have been giving me sleepless nights.
