Motivation to Keep Writing

August 28, 2009

I had a nice chat with my agent this morning. He’s been working hard to sell my two stories and while there’s been a positive response to my writing, the stories haven’t been fits so far. After reworking one of them, we’re still hopeful and I’m looking to see if I can add a new thread to the shorter one. In the meantime, I started working on another WIP, and I shared with him several other ideas I had. He said two of them had great premises, so I’ll be brainstorming those soon so I can share them with editors at ACFW.

ACFW! It’s only a few weeks away and now I have some direction as to what to do there. I was sort of floundering since my finished WIPs had already been seen and I didn’t have any new ones to pitch. His advice: Research the editors and what they’re looking for and talk about those stories that fit their house.

Good advice and just what I needed to get my creative juices flowing.

More on the new WIPS as soon as I flesh them out! Thanks to all my readers who still come by to check out what’s happening in my world. I’ve been lax in returning the favor, but please leave a comment (with URL) and I’ll be sure and stop by to check out your world!

From the day I received my first diary in the second grade, I've had a passion expressing myself through writing. Later as a journalist and novelist, I realized words, if used powerfully, have the ability to touch, stir, and reach from the depths of one soul to another. Today as a writing and health coach, I inspire others to live their extraordinary life and encourage them to share their unique stories.
