It's been over a week since I posted.
Still waiting to hear back about my submission to The Wild Rose Press. I'm hoping no news is good news.
I've been studying blogs of fellow writers in an effort to get a better handle on this blog thing. Some seem to use this space as a forum to talk about causes and such. I don't feel comfortable with that so I will still to writing issues.
High on my agenda right now is plotting novel #2 and getting that to be the best it can be so hopefully the writing will be better and better. I'm taking some online courses and I highly recommend this route. It's painless and the feedback is wonderful. The writers who give their time this way are true wonders in my book.
The various online RWA chapters are an excellent resource. Getting on their listserves is a great way to get valuable information and network.
I'll post some links when I figure out how to do that. :>)

It's Sunday morning, very early, and since I can't sleep, I thought I would update instead.
I got some wonderful news. The editor at Wild Rose Press who had my partial under consideration asked for the full manuscript yesterday. I immediately sent it out and now I'm anxiously counting the days until I hear her verdict. That might have accounted for the lack of sleep last night!

This is my first ever blog so I'm anxious to do it right.
My writing has been consuming me lately and I really wish I didn't have this pesky day job so that I could devote myself to writing full-time. But the puppies and kitties have to eat so I'm going to try to do justice to both.
Right now, I'm hard at work trying to get novel #2 up and going. I have several pages written but I have decided that I need to take this weekend to really tighten up the plot before I go any further.
A partial of my first novel "Second to None" is currently with an editor from Wild Rose Press www.thewildrosepress.com and I'm trying to be very calm while I wait to hear back from her.
Have a great weekend and happy writing to all!
