Well, my weekend away was awesome. I could have used a little more sleep (blame my stupid internal time clock, no one else) but it was an entirely fabulous weekend! We had great food, great company and some great writing times!
Having sent a partial to an agent before I left, I knew I needed to really [...]

There’s a song rolling around and around my head today… that brings the writing, editing, query, rejection process into perspective.
Adopt it. Live it. Breath it. It’s on!
The band is SuperChick and the song is from the album Beauty from Pain…
IT’S ON
And now for the Lyrics…
It all comes down to this
You take your best shot, might [...]

It’s my birthday week… yes, I am turning older… a whole year older. How does that happen?
In any event, if I don’t make goals for the week, things aren’t going to go as well as they could. Turning older takes thought and consideration. If I don’t have it written down, I just might think too [...]

Tuesday we find out if I made it to the next round of ABNA…
I am not sure if I’m more happy or shocked really. I can’t believe it’s already been a month but I am glad I don’t have to wait much longer.
In other news, I think I have decided to record myself reading the [...]

I finished my first edit of RUNAWAY CHOICES last night and in the process I figured out a small little nugget I added in to the story to make it much better. I hope… Haha.
Like all first, second and maybe even fifth drafts, it’s surely not ready for submission, publication or the general public. But [...]

Writer’s are funny creatures… by nature. We have to be to get through all these processes that bring us to the final goal… Publication.
The writing, the editing, the querying, more editing, the procuring of an agent, still more editing… really, there is humor in it all. Though, maybe I am confusing humor with insanity. That [...]

Whoop! Whoop!

One of my three entries… or all three I submitted… will be in the next 6 Sentences compilation out in April 2010. I won’t know which one(s) are in Volume III until it comes out. But regardless, I am tickled pink, purple, orange, red… let’s just call it a [...]

And yes, I am over the age of 12… so really, it should just annoy me. But I love the whimsical techno kiddy sound… and it doesn’t hurt that the lyrics are rated G for Giggly!
Ahem, why yes I am listening to them right now, why do you ask?
Totally not what I intended to [...]

Boy, my characters in Runaway Choices have thrown me for a loop this week.
Usually I write in order… A leads to B… B heads into C and D brings up the rear… followed by the rest of the alphabet. However, there are times when Z needs to be written… Like with Runaway Choices.
One day a [...]
UNDER CONSTRUCTION... please don't mind the mess.
