Mini Blog: deadline me

by Leave a Comment

You know that movie Despicable Me?  Well, right now around here it’s all about Deadline Me because the first draft of Heist Society 2 is due on Wednesday.

Now, the usual disclaimers: it’s JUST a first draft.  We’re still a long, long way from finished.  The book itself will probably be out next summer sometime and I won’t start GG5 until Heist 2 is finished because Heist 2 comes out first.

Also, we don’t have a title.  We don’t have a cover.  And I can’t really say what it’s about just yet because all that is subject to change based on what my editor thinks about it.

Did that cover everything?

I hope that covered everything.

I will simply leave you with these, the two theme songs for HS2, to tease and tide you over.

  5. Take your time Ally! I still can’t wait for Heist or GG5, but I know writing is hard. I just wanted to ask two Q’s thouh.
    1. When you do a draft, do you type it or write it out?
    2. Have you read Hex Hall by Rachel Hawkins? I love it and it’s very cute and addicting!

  6. Ooh, I like the new SPAM preventing question…. what is Ally’s last name?
    Darn it, I just can’t seem to figure it out! 😉

    But anyway, I just wanted to wish you luck on your deadline!

    Love, Hannah

  9. Oh my gosh I LOVE ‘Walk Like An Egyptian’! It’s such a catchy song, and I listen to it all the time on my iPod when I’m running. And I did a tap dance to ‘Putting On The Ritz’ last year!!!! 😀 (Just felt like sharin’ that with ya)
    And I feel like a criminal correcting an author’s spelling, but isn’t it spelled ‘Despicable’?
    Anyways, good luck with meeting your deadline!
