So, I officially got my first rejection letter this summer. As well as my first rejection "damned with faint praise", which was made slightly less painful by my association of that with Emily of New Moon. Slightly. You can read all the magazines and books in the world "prepping" you for rejections by the hundreds,Continue reading "Rejected"
Nothing but Travel
We've been traveling a lot. As in, about a month out of the last two. Between three weddings and 2 work trips, I cannot even tell you how many hours I have spent in an airport. Fun, but exhausting. The first week of this month was a wedding in Aspen, Colorado, the day before mineContinue reading "Nothing but Travel"
The Secret to Joy
I feel like I write these type of posts a lot, so if you still read them, either I am not alone in the world of figuring oneself out or you are really bored. All of you who have been around awhile or read previous posts know that I am the type to constantly pushContinue reading "The Secret to Joy"
Editing and Submission
So, almost needless to say, I did not reach my goal of editing the entire book by the end of April. However, I did get done with the first part of it. Sent it off to my friend to read, as promised. And . . . haven't touched the book since. It is just SOContinue reading "Editing and Submission"
Cruises and books
So, I am not going to use the excuse "busy" for not having written in awhile. Frankly, I simply kept forgetting and then, when I did remember, other things took priority. Which is how it should be, right? Life takes priority over internet? We went on our (almost) annual cruise end of March andContinue reading "Cruises and books"
A Boring Update
I have very little to say by way of an update, which is why I have been putting off writing since the last time. I'm just - plodding along. Editing my book, which is going far slower than I would wish it - and I am getting so many notes stacked up about the editsContinue reading "A Boring Update"
Writing Schedules
Anyone who knows me knows that I am constantly writing schedules. I think that if I can find a schedule I can stick to, then I will have a more organized life and I will be able to fit in EVERYTHING that I want to do and learn (which, by the way, is a lot).Continue reading "Writing Schedules"
Writing, Working, Life
It has been so long since I have written any posts, that I am sure you all thought you were free of my ramblings. I cannot even believe it is January 2017 – I feel like it was just a couple months ago that I was writing the January 2016 post. I am too scaredContinue reading "Writing, Working, Life"
NaNoWriMo Progress – or lack thereof
Last year I was so good about writing multiple times during NaNo. It rather kept me going, you know, feeling like people were enjoying keeping up with my progress, whether it was true or not. 🙂 This year. Well, I got a very good start, as you know. And I was actually quite good atContinue reading "NaNoWriMo Progress – or lack thereof"
NaNoWriMo Begins!
It is officially NaNoWriMo! So,to celebrate it, I am sharing the November 1st NaNoToons - because they are the best. And, although I was up past midnight last night, no I did not start writing. But I don't feel guilty. You know why? Because Daniel is bringing me to a wine/coffee bar tonight specifically toContinue reading "NaNoWriMo Begins!"
