The Surge Book 1 is Finished!

I finally finished my first complete draft of my YA urban fantasy novel, Justice: The Surge Series Book 1 - yippee!

Hannah and a group of her school friends are going to read my draft and give me feedback. I'm anxious to hear something from my target audience.

Earlier this week, I bit the bullet and attended my first writer's group meeting - the IWOSC - OC. I was nervous, but everyone there was lovely and made me feel genuinely welcome. It was an interesting cast of characters, people from many different walks of life, writing many different genres from many different perspectives. It was exactly what I needed. Thank you, fellow writers!

I've completed my first full-scale revision of the book, and I'm going to give it one more critical run before I declare, "The End." I'm hoping to finish up my query letter and synopsis by June 1.

The writer's group is giving me five minutes to read my work at the next meeting. Should I read chapter one of First Impressions, the book I'm currently querying on? Should I read part of Justice? Should I read my Justice query letter? I want to pick the one I have the least confidence in, so that I'll get the most needed feedback. Have to think about it.
