Celebrate the Small Things and Insecure Writers Group

Hey you beautiful guys and dolls! I'm sorry I disappeared for a while. It seems like life gets busy and things go crazy. But I am so super happy to get 2014 moving in the right direction!

I've missed several Celebrations and 3 Insecure Writers. I won't lie, people. I went through a slow time and without going into detail, I let life's disappointments get the better of me. It's okay to step back and regroup, though. There comes a time in everyone's life when a break is all that is needed to refuel and rekindle. So in celebration of the fire burning in my heart, for the first time in many months,

I'm celebrating:

1. A new attitude.
2. A new WIP.
3. A new year.
4. A date with my husband tonight.

I have such a positive feeling about this year. I hope I can keep this smile even when life dishes lemons. That's my new year resolution. And #2 on my resolution list is to HELP others more.

What about you, did you make any resolutions?
Are you celebrating something small? Huge? Just plain old happiness?
Tell me about it!!

    We all let things get to us sometimes, we're only human. I am glad you feel positive for the new year though. If you ever need to talk just send me an email!

    Congrats on the new WIP. You're right, at one time or another we have to step back and regroup.

Operation Agent Ink

UPDATE: PLEASE FILL OUT THIS QUESTIONNAIRE AFTER YOU SIGN UP. Have you ever wondered what agents were dying to find in their inbox/slush pile? There have been many times I entered a contest and not even received a comment, not even from one of the agents. Or maybe the agent was kind enough to leave a comment that simply said, "Sorry, this just isn't what I'm looking for, but I love the premise and your voice." I always walk away feeling unsatisfied. If I had known exactly what the agent wanted beyond, "YA" or "Fantasy" I might not have even entered a contest I knew I wouldn't win! Even more, I wasted a very busy agents time! Well, your time of guessing is up! OPERATION AGENT INK to the rescue! That's right! This workshop will help aspiring authors get on the list of an agent's WISH LIST! When the workshop is over, your manuscript will be ready to view by a group of AMAZING agents who are dying to see what you've wri...

GUTGAA Meet and Greet!

Hey everyone! I'm taking a quick break from vacation to introduce myself and say hi! I'm really looking forward to meeting everyone and meeting some new friends! -Where do you write? I live in a camper. My writing spot? Usually in bed. But sometimes I get a chance to write in the "living room" but that's rare. When I am at home (yay!) I have my own little office:) I love m space there and I can write during the day light hours. Oh, who am I kidding! That's rare. -Quick. Go to your writing space, sit down and look to your left. What is the first thing you see? My husband. Yeah, he sleeps with me! -Favorite time to write? At night. When it's quite. Aaahhh. Sweet quite. -Drink of choice while writing? Depends on the time of day I get to write. In the morning, coffee, coffee and more coffee. (with Creme Brulee creamer!) Afternoon it's iced coffee. After school, it's Dr. Pepper. Night it's water. -When writin...

The Writers Voice Entry

How excited am I? Can't you hear me laughing and squeeing, right there where you are? Yep! I'm excited! I made it tot he first round of the Writers Voice!! So today, I've posted my entry, here int his blog post, for the coaches to come around and read and decide if I'm ready to move on to the next round. Keep your fingers crossed for me PLEASE:) The entry I'm posting as went through numerous rounds of edits and revisions to get it where it is already. I've cut, squeezed, rearranged and replaced so much, I think my brain is on fire! I've changed names, combined characters, cut characters, and I've changed titles a couple of times and agonized over my genre until I cried . I've put th e first three chapters through a couple of workshops and had feedback from a few agents, so I'm sure I 've got the results I wanted. (I can be honest, can't I?) So, here we go, you beautiful guys and dolls. Feel free to leave any comments that might ...
