Today is the Grand Opening of Firedrakes Weyr Publishing, so hop on over there and join in the celebration! http://www.firedrakesweyr.com

This weekend I will be away at a writer's retreat with my local chapter of Romance Writers of America. Hooray! We're going to be spending time and learning from Michael Hauge, a screenwriter expert, and I really can't wait!

My goal is to finish Adrienne within the next couple of days and begin working completely on the next book in my "For Love and Music" series (first book will be coming soon from Firedrakes Weyr).

Update

Just an update to the earlier post. The archives are up from the Dragon's Den radio show earlier today. You can listen to it now at http://internetvoicesradio.com/Arch-DragonsDen.htm. Click play on the radio stream called "January 27, 2008 Introduction to EBook Publishing Company."

Drop a comment and let me know what you think! I'm the fourth author to talk about their book.

Lots of news to share

I sold a book to Firedrakes Weyr! Hooray! As of right now I'm not sure on the release date, but when I find out I'll let you guys know, too. I'm so excited to begin this new process. I turned in my cover art information as well, so I can't wait to see the results of that, too!

Today, I'll be participating in a radio show at Passionate Voices Internet Radio between 3pm - 4pm EST. Listen in if you can!

That's all for now. I'll share more when I know it!

I broke 61k, so far, yay! It feels good to be that much closer to the end of the book. It is starting to flow again for me, and I finished another chapter, which is great since some of these I've been hopping back and forth between!

That's all for now.

'Night

Tonight was a great productive day. I wrote a little over a thousand words and did a little work on another idea I have planned, too. I'm really trying to push to get Adrienne done by Jan. 31st. That is my ideal goal. Hey, but I'm getting closer and closer as time goes on, right?

I broke 59k today. Tomorrow I'm planning on being as productive if, hopefully, even more productive. The pace I had during National Novel Writing Month was beautiful, if only it was possible for me to keep that pace year round. I honestly don't know what I'd do if I were that blessed/cursed. heh

Anyways! I'm going to bed now.

'Night!

Today was a great day. I went to TARA (Tampa Area Romance Authors) for the monthly workshop, and it was very helpful and very appropriate for what I'm working on right now. If you get the time, check out Erica Ridley's website and blog (listed under the blogs I visit section). She did a workshop on websites, and she also has articles on her website about the topic. The other topic was goals, also wonderful.

I broke 57k on my current WIP. Yay!

Not too much other information that I want to give at the moment. Another milestone with the short contemporary romance happened today, but I'll share that when I feel its appropriate. =)

As for now, 'night!

I am pretty excited about some things that will be happening soon. I can't really talk about it now since it's not definitive, but hopefully you guys will be knowing it soon enough. All I can say for now is that I am taking my Short Contemporary off of the page count/word counter section. It has something special for it in the near future. =)

As for now, I have some new ideas for my current WIP, so off I go!

Not too much new to discuss besides from the fact that classes have started again at my university. I can't wait to graduate though, which will be upon finishing my summer semester. Yippee.

I have been submitting a children's picture book. I received five rejection letters and a request for more information. I really hope something comes about with the request for more information! Or one of the other fourteen query letters out there. Three are about at the time when I'm guessing it's a "no response means rejection" kind of thing, but...the way I feel is that a rejection just means that I'm putting myself out there, so I don't take them too personal. I do feel a little bit of frustration at first, but then I pick myself back up and push on. Hooray!

Not too much else I can think of. I've been trying to work on my writing project and my editing project, but for the past two days not much has been happening. Ugh. I had wanted to write today, but then I got an injury and rested instead. There's always tomorrow (today since it's 12:34 AM)!

'Night

Hello everyone! My website and blog got a matching makeover, so check it out! Let me know what you think. My goal for the month is to finish my nanowrimo novel (started in November), and also to get my nanowrimo novel from 2005, which is finished, completely edited. I'll have a page counter over on the side so that you can see how many pages I have edited of it.

I want this year to be a very productive one. Perhaps this will be the year where I'll transcend the pre-published status, and become a published author. Hooray!

Happy New Year!
