Wow! I can’t believe it’s been two months since I’ve updated my blog! Things have been so very hectic in my personal life (going through a divorce with a kid can definitely take up a lot of space in your mind!) so I’ve been neglecting my writing a little. I did end up finishing Camp NaNoWriMo in July. I’m still working on editing the first draft of my NA novel since I kind of put it on hold to do other things. But I plan to get back to it…
Hey everyone! Quick update! I’m less than 10,000 words from finishing my Camp NaNoWriMo goal. Once I finish, I’ll post a more detailed post explaining all that went right (and wrong) with Camp. Let’s just say, it was not easy and I had to make my goal less words. But I’m determined to finish these last 10,000 by the end of the day on Wednesday! As for my short story “Dear Prudence”, it was just published on FICTION on the WEB on July 18th. I’ve gotten…
I just hacked off about 6000 words of my NA novel. I kinda want to jump off a cliff. I was more than 1/4 done. I was over 25,000 words. And now, I’m under 20,000. I want to cry. But I did what I needed to do to fix a major plot problem. I got back on track. I’m headed in the right direction. Am I the first person who has to LOWER their words written for the day at Camp NaNoWriMo? 🙁 I doubt it. Well, I hope at least. So. Depressed. SIGH…
So, I’ve found this incredible website called querytracker.net and the inner list maker in me has gone COMPLETELY CRAZY. If you could see the lists I’m making for agents to query, you’d probably slap me. I am OBSESSED with this website. It’s so great for researching lit agents and seeing statistics and comments from others who have submitted. I’m in LOVE. I even paid the $25 for the year of premium membership… be still, my heart! Anyhoooo… speaking of queries, I’ve sent out a bunch…
You’re the Catalyst queries have been sent! I’m still researching more agents to send queries to but I’ve sent a bunch for now. Now I play the waiting game which is never fun. I did get on rejection already (super fast, too) but it was from somewhere that only had you send the query and no pages. I don’t like that as much. So hopefully someone will read the pages and like it! It’s my baby, as I’m sure all of you think of your own books as…
Heartbreak: A Fifty Word Story My fifty word story was published today! Check it out and rate it…
May has been a great month. My writing is getting published in FOUR places. What?!?!?! It feels unreal. But I’m still submitting different stories so hopefully the list will continue to grow. The third piece I’m having published is a short piece called “Hell is a Strange Place” and will be published in June 2013. Stay tuned for a link! In other writing news, I’ve just submitted my screenplay to the Austin Film Festival. I know it’s a long shot but I just had to do it. You never know…
I am very excited to tell you all that I’m getting published… TIMES THREE! I’ve now heard back from three places that want to publish my work. “Dear Prudence” will be published by two different places, the second will have an alternate ending. My flash fiction piece titled “Fuck Melinda… Literally” will also be published. This is very exciting news for me! I’m currently feeling inspired by all the love so I’ve been writing a lot of different flash fiction pieces. I’ll be posting…
Hello dear followers! It’s been a while since I’ve updated so here I am to…um…update! First off, I would like to tell you all the FABULOUS news I received early today! My short story Dear Prudence will be published in the Jan/Feb 2014 issue of Down in the Dirt magazine! I’m so very excited to have my first short story published! It will also be available online later this week so I will be sure to post that link for you when it is up. In other writing news…
Caution! Editing in progress! Do not speak! Do not look in the general direction of my laptop or notebook! Do NOT spill anything on my notes! DO NOT COME NEAR ME OR I WILL HAVE A PANIC ATTACK! That about sums it up right there. But since some of you are so sweet and have been listening to my rants on this journey since I decided to start a blog to document it, I will give you a real update. So far, I am putting my edits that I made on the printed copy of my manuscript into the computer…
