I haven’t started on a new manuscript – on purpose.  I heard a great workshop on self-editing and have been working over the last ms, as well as one of my previous ones.  This takes some concentration, and I get so sucked into the world of a new book, that while I have the opportunity ( i.e. I’m not published with deadlines, other than the self-imposed ones 😉  )  I figure I may as well focus.  This week I also used a new workshop from nationals on High Concept and have beefed up my story loglines.  It’s helped quite a bit with the three line query pitches and a new synopsis, both of which are a different form of writing.
