Last night, I finished my novella, 19,200 words with a tearful ending. (Tearful for me anyway.) The joy of typing “the end” put a smile on my face, and a copy is now printed and in my husband’s in box. He gets the first read, before the four authors get together to finalize any changes, […]
No matter how you picture it, it never happens that way … On Saturday, December 10th, I was on an Island with the three other anthology authors. We were there to polish our stories so we could turn them in to the editor by our December 31st deadline. Three of us went for a ride, […]
It’s May 1st, and I thought I’d share a few updates. I haven’t posted since December when I sold my first full length novel, ‘Passion’s Race’, because I’ve been hard at work. I polished ‘Mystical Connections’, and sent it to my agent. My novella, ‘Identity’ for the Anthology, ‘Sisters of Spirit’ went to the editor prior to my […]
A very dear friend reminded me the other night that I haven’t blogged since August 24th. So true, but there is an excellent reason for the disappearing act. I decided to take a short break and share … I’m doing another edit on Passion’s Race for an agent!! She thinks I’ve created a unique world […]
Wow, my last post was written in September. Really? Guess revisions took priority over everything else, but they’re done and in the agents hands. Yeah! From my lips to God’s ears: “I am ready to get published.” So, I put Passion’s Race out of my mind (or try to anyway) and return to work on […]
Perseverance and determination have paid off as we ring in 2011. The intense research to find the “right” agent to represent my work has come to fruition. I received a contract on Christmas Eve. I now have an agent!! She is professional, bold, honest and direct – the perfect partner to showcase my story (stories). Her experience […]
What a gorgeous day. 1/11/11 and the snow flakes continue to fall. Large, fluffy, white flakes fluttering outside my office windows. It’s very peaceful. The small amount of sun – brave enough to show up here and there – spotlights the gleaming blanketed yards, making me almost believe it’s not that cold. I’m cozy in […]
The snow melted and the sun shines strong. It is 74 degrees here in St. Loius – unbelievable for mid-February, but I love it. Could this be a sign that winter is behind us? I can hope, can’t I? I’m close to finishing my revisions for Mystical Connections, then work continues on Passion’s Promise. Seven chapters […]
Snow last week and flowers blooming this week. I’m stepping out for a long walk because winter has decided to show his face again tomorrow. It’s a sunny in the mid-seventies day, but it’s not going to last. Temperatures drop over night. Back into the thirties, ugh. I’m so ready for the warm weather to […]
I just got back from the NEC conference in Salem, MA. Let your imagination take flight is their theme, which perfectly matched the boost I needed in my writing. I guess I was feeling a bit stale, and the wonderful workshops helped pop me back into the passionate state I’m used to being in while creating my stories. […]
