I've emailed the new take of my MG fantasy novel Chasing Bo. You've seen this before, but it was a little different.
If you'd like to go beyond the first 20 pages, I've included the whole chunk of what I have, but feedback on only the first 20 would still be awesome and greatly appreciated!
My main concerns: What's working? What isn't? Any ideas for how things could work even better?
Also, to give you a sense of scope, this draft will probably end up being about 90,000 words (a bit long for an MG). I do think I'm trying to do too much in the first 20 (as per usual).
I also want to report that back in May I had it in my mind that I'd revise the draft I had over a few weeks. That idea quickly turned into a laugher! So much of revising that draft became cutting and massaging that I changed over to simply re-typing the draft and revising as I went. Re-typing is more fun. I don't think I'll be done with this draft any sooner than the end of September.
Thanks, and I hope everyone's enjoying the home stretch of summer!
