ALL ME: Writing & Interviews
NaNo, NaNo and I'm NOT Talking Mork and Mindy
Okay, I succumbed to cyber peer pressure and joined. Do I think I’ll write 50,000 words in a month? Noooo! I don’t even think I’m going to write 5,000 words in a month, but at least I’ll be a little more motivated to sit down and write something. My goal is not to crank out…

Motivation to Keep Writing
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…
From Apathy to Anger…
When my last rejection came the other day, I felt disappointed and frustrated. I was really hoping this was it. When all the fruit of my labor would pay off. But nope! Not yet! In fact, after a summer long winning streak (various family members won three rounds of Wicked auction tickets, a trip to…
WIP Update
I realized I haven’t updated the progress of my WIPs lately. Digging Up Death, which I fondly refer to as DUDly, is undergoing rewrites after I dug it up after I buried it. It made the rounds, and though I hadn’t heard a yeah or nay, from two editors, my wise agent and I decided…
Tortoise or Hare?
I’ve come to the conclusion that it doesn’t matter how fast I run this publishing race, I’m not going to reach the finish line until God wants me to. So as I finish up edits on my current WIP, I’m looking toward the future and plan on stopping to smell the roses! That means slowing…

Ready to Bury Digging Up Death!
That’s the novel my agent has shopped around and it seems like “Digging up Death” should never have been dug up! My latest rejection was pretty detailed and I heard that’s a good thing. Means I’m on my way… problem is it takes so darn long for me to write a novel, I might be…
