I’ve neglected my blog – I’m sorry, but I’ve been busy revising my WIP’s (works in progress). The National Conference always gives us writers something to think about. We (or at least I do) reevaluate our work and look for ways to improve it. Well, that’s all part of the process, right? Is it tight enough? […]
I’m back, exhausted but exhilarated, ready to plunge back into my work. My admiration goes out to everyone involved in making this conference what it was — awesome! The PRO retreat was the best yet, filled with terrific information that each of us can put to use ASAP, the workshops were filled with inspiring and realistic information […]
Has anyone noticed a change in customer service in the last few years? My father was a businessman, who was well respected in his industry, because no matter how much his company grew, he remained humble and honest, and always, always found a way to meet his customers’ needs. I learned at an early age […]
Well, it’s been almost a month since my last post, and I’ve been busy doing everything but writing. I raced another Ironman Race in Louisville, KY just over two weeks ago and I finished remodeling our kitchen just the other day. My mind as been storing up the scenes I need to continue with in […]
It seems I’m on a monthly cycle – with my posting, I mean. I’ve been so wrapped up in my daily writing goals that I’ve lost track of time. Not a bad thing when cranking out the pages of creativity. I did take time out this past weekend to attend the NJ writers conference, where I […]
Ironman Florida – November 3, 2007: A recap by Christine (Crash) Mazurk The alarm buzzed at 4:30 am, and we both groaned into the darkness. The air conditioner had so chilled the room, I didn’t want to come out from under the covers, but the start of Ironman Florida was fast approaching – and it […]
It’s difficult to explain the energy created simply by being in the same space with other writers, but Passion’s Promise, my fourth story has come to life thanks to a group of incredible women and a special writers’ retreat. A very special friend opened her mother’s home to us (a group of eight) and we […]
It’s time once again to take a moment out of a hectic day to say — I’m thankful for everything I have in my life, especially family and friends! Your support as I travel the long road to publication has been solid and unwavering. You encourage me to continue knocking on doors, believing that the […]
Today I have the tedious task of packing for Nationals, the almost week long RWA Conference. I’ll be pitching my mss again, so searching the closet for that perfect outfit requires some thought. Something professional is a must, but since the workshops run from early morning into late evening, the outfits must be comfortable as well. I […]
Thanksgiving weekend in St. Louis was chilly and wet. We needed the rain, so it was good, but hubby and I were a bit under the weather as we were both fighting colds, a normal occurence several weeks after a competition. As it turns out, both were a blessing. Being sick forced us to slow […]
