Query + Nano + editing

Rejections are still slowly coming. I've had 5 official rejections, and one query that exceeded the "I'll respond to you by" date. Today I sent out another one, so that puts eight queries still in the rotation. My goal is to get out two more this week. I've been spending more time editing and writing a new story for Nanowrimo. Both. It's crazy. I'm crazy. I started the month mostly editing, but there aren't a lot of words there and my Nano was flailing. Now I'm writing more than editing, in a story that was started with a premise instead of with characters. Usually I have a character first, then work out a plot and start piecing it together. This is a little more random than that. I did have two initial characters, but in my initial writing I was thinking of one character for the lead, and now I've switched to another. It's all over the place. I'm not thrilled with the way the story is going, but I'm making decent word count progres
