I haven’t posted in a very long time. If this is on your friends page or your blog reader you may not remember why you ever added me, so let me do a quick refressh. Citizen Police Academy, Hero’s Journey, GMC and the Great Deb Dixon, and Murder in the Grove Master Class Weekend.
Since I posted last I came to terms with having to return to work full time to make the ends meet. I’ve changed board positions a bit on the local non-profit groups and finished the 2nd draft of SAR and sent it to my beta reader who promptly sent it back with helpful, though painful, tips on how to make it better.
I entered both the Emerald City Opener and the Golden Opportunity and have a full of RNR at Loose Id I’m waiting a reply from (they rejected it very politely and I’m revising before I send it out again). I joined the RRW (Rainbow Romance Writers) and put together a new playlist for the WIP. Twittering, conferences, and my mother–in–law is living with us.
I’m Really Excited About END RESULTS. For $25.00, you will receive a detailed feedback sheet and comments from four readers on the first 25 pages and synopsis of your manuscript. Readers will report on characters, story development, dialog, narrative, setting, and plot. This is a perfect opportunity for feedback if you don’t have a critique group or if your only access to “readers” might be friends and relatives. This is a must use service.
I also just went back to school full time online through Kaplan university. I picked them for their class structure and bonus, work is paying for it. I’ll get my bachelors in communication in just over two years.
Crazy of all crazy, I plan on doing NaNoWriMo. Taunt me on or let me know if you need encouragement.
