China Book
Must be the separation from the internet. I finished three chapters of the China non-fiction book proposal yesterday. They're very rough, but at least they capture a sense of what I want to say. I'm trying to find the line between offering cool details and making the book fun to read. I'll worry about the details first and the entertainment in the next draft. I'm hoping to finish two more chapters, but my time is pretty chopped up today.
I have to run out and meet with the illustrator for The Forbidden Phoenix serial story. He's going to be showing me some rough sketches. I'm pretty excited to see what he comes up with. Also, I pitched my agent the story. She didn't quite see it as a kids' book, but I re-pitched it to her as a comic book series. She liked that idea. I have to talk to her next week and see what how to rework the story in a comic book format.
