One Profile Down...

...two to go :) It's all moving in the right direction. I'm going to start with about 30 publishers but I still have plenty of time since the plan is to start sending the profiles (and bits of the scripts) in late July. The novels are these:

Against All Odds: Elizabeth is in her late thirties when she unexpectedly becomes pregnant after a one-night-stand. She embraces her new role as an expecting mother but when she finds out that her best friend is dying from leukaemia, her life and her ideas about motherhood take a new turn.

The Other Woman: Take a peek into Kelly Cassel’s journal. She’s just broken up with her boyfriend, who’s left her for his wife. She’s lucky enough to be surrounded by a group of great girlfriends but she soon realizes that every heart has a story.

That Fat Feeling: Sara has been fat all her life and when she get’s gastric bypass surgery and loses her extra weight, all her dreams start coming true. Her career as a news anchor takes off, she meets a great guy and she’s able to do all the physical activities that she never could before. Five years after the surgery she starts to wonder why she’s not happy with all that success and that perhaps her problem wasn’t the fat after all.

That Fat Feeling is the least developed of these chic lit stories and I have a feeling that it will take a few turns in writing. Against All Odds is mostly finished and The Other Woman just needs some final touches. If I can refrain from playing online games in my extended summer vacation I should be able to finish all these three and send them off. Then I want to write some sci fi short stories and finish my thriller. My little brother has also suggested that we write a screen play together and I'm definately open for that :)
