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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Well, I’m off to the National Conference to learn more about the business. I will pitch to some important people, meet up with old writer friends, make new friends, attend the PRO workshop, and so much more. The four jam-packed days are always exhilarating, and as I have each year, I’m looking forward to the information I’ll gain. […]
When I started writing my first manuscript several years ago, it was a career changing decision. I knew I’d approach becoming a long-term career author through the traditional route of finding the appropriate agent who would represent my work and sell me to a big name publishing house. Two mss later (I’m working on number […]
Hubby and I just returned from a fabulous vacation in which we saw the spectacular views of Southern Utah by bike. Our Trek Travel group consisted of thirteen avid cyclists and two guides, who were simply awesome, BTW. We started our journey in Boulder, Utah, with a warm-up ride (ha) to check out the fit […]
I haven’t posted in quite awhile, simply because I’ve been very busy. I totally rewrote The Chase is Over, my very first manuscript, and though the basis of the story remained unchanged, I refocused the POV’s, strengthened the plot, and ramped up the tension both in the relationship between Alexandra and Tyler and in the […]
A few weeks ago, I watched a DVD called, The Secret. It was recommended by a fellow writer, and I must tell you it is quite powerful stuff. Incidentally, I just read a blurb about it last week in People magazine. Anyway, it’s about the laws of attraction. Wish and it will come. I’ve always […]
I’ve lost the month of December. Can’t seem to find it anywhere. When I looked at my calendar this morning, reality hit — Christmas is just around the bend, and I’m very behind with my preparations. Normally, I’m organized, lists are made by Halloween, cards are mailed just after Thanksgiving, packages are bought, wrapped, & mailed […]
