This month I took a real walkabout, driving out west for several reasons, including booksignings, a master writers’ class and some research/picture gathering for the Elf Clan series. The first week, I gloried in the Adventure of the Road. For the first time in a long while, I had time alone. Miles and miles of [...]

This morning I sit down to my computer and open my email to find this: BARBARA: We have read your manuscript, TAKE ME ALIVE, and would very much like to contract it. There are a few minor point-of-view (POV) issues, but those will be easy to address. In fact, I have already marked and edited [...]

The new walls also smooth [...]

So far this week, it’s been a rollercoaster of ups and downs. The county people told the newspaper they “have no clue” why poisonous gas appears and disappears on the street in front of our house. That’s reassuring. (please insert sarcasm here) On a high note, a fiction piece I’ve been trying to publish for [...]

Waiting

Doctor appointments, haircuts, prescription refills, family gatherings–all of them waiting to happen, but on my mind now, to make sure they’re [...]

Am I a writer yet??

While I participate in the writer’s soap opera As The Nervous Stomach Turns, waiting to hear back from agents and editors about my novel manuscripts, I alternate between dark bouts of never wanting to pick up a word processor again and the juicy buzz of hot flowing prose. My husband is so pleased, because unfortunately [...]
