My publisher, editor, and illustrator now have Baxter's second book. It will give my illustrator the chance to start her sketching while the text goes through editing, which should be a quick process. I have a good editor.
So I am now working on Baxter's next adventure, Searching for Sunflowers. I had written out what I THOUGHT was going to be this story a year ago. However, my writing group gave me excellent advice to cut the book into two story lines.
This morning, I went through the manuscript from last summer and highlighted the text that went into Rainbow Tracks. I've got about half the third book to now work on. If I stick to a focused schedule, I should have this third manuscript completed in a month or so.
And then?
In my writing group, the other three writers focus on movie and TV. They are rocking! It's inspiring to be in such a successful group. So, my plan will be to get out my movie script and clean it up. They've given me some great feedback for the next revision. I may step away from children's books and books for a while because I have so many other ideas started for cartoons, TV, and movies.
