a writers blog











Don’t you just love it when you get an idea. And it sticks! I do. I’ve had an idea floating around for a few days and last night it hit me. Of course I know that’s when I’m SUPPOSED to be asleep, but we all know how the bug bites as writers. haha. So here I am at the pc, typing it up and getting the ground work laid. Now to go research and have fun digging

GOOD IDEA #2??
I had read Aaron Shepard’s book a loooooooooooooooooooooooong time ago. His multiple story query caught my attention. The other day as I was looking over some illustrators website I thought, ‘Now why can’t I do that with my writing? They have agents/editors go to their website and see what they have to offer. Why can’t writers do the same?’ So needless to say, I have been working on a new webpage on my website, writing up the introduction and then getting it laid out to where I like it. On there I include a tad bit (not much at all -they can look on my other pages for that) about me and then I list each:

  • Story Name
  • Genre
  • Synopsis
  • Availability

Not sure how it is going to work yet. I’ve sent it out to one agent . So we will see.

I think it’s a good idea anywho. hahaha. smiles.

Cheers!

OK, so it’s been a while since my last post… throw pencils at me. (not sharpened, please. Hey, I said please didn’t I???) But things have been – well, can you say – bi-zay. I haven’t been able to blog in a while, but have manage to hold my head up with my critique groups for the most part. WHEW!

I have a great question… HOW DO YOU JUGGLE IT ALL??? I mean I was in a grove. Had the whole… housework, family happy, going to work, keeping the boys at all their practices, and having EVERY crit in on time, oh and don’t forget school is in there somewhere… thing going. And then, BAM! ZAP! KA-POW! Sickness, crazy practices, and more sickness, and then add sickness. Did I mention sick??? (weak, pathetic laugh) ha. And boy is my world (and head) spinning. But I got the kids better and going again and then it hits me. Down for the count.

But believe it or not. WOW! I’m not giving in and I’ve been writing. Although all will see if it makes sense when I come completely out of my fog. teehee. AND I’m keeping up with my school. WooHoo! Finished up my second assignment tonight and will be mailing off tomorrow.

But really how do you do it??? Am I alone out here and am the only one who fumbles from time to time? I doubt it. haha. At least there’s hope. Hope that it all comes back together and you stay a float (even if barely), and that all becomes well with the universe again.

TA!
