Current Facebook Status: Woke with a killer headache, but feeling better, thank God! Currently Playing in the Background: New season of Flashpoint I did it. And I haven’t puked. Yet. In the last hour or so, I emailed three query letters to three of my top choice agents. In 2 weeks, 30 days and 60 days, I’ll know. All three have policies that say ‘if you haven’t heard from us in x time period, we’re Read more
Current Facebook Status: Thanks to our troops, active & former, front lines & support, who in one way or another made this possible. A bit conflicted – should be sad/upset that he likely died unready to meet his Maker; I find it hard to be so. Glad O called GWB to tell him, but a bit… something at the phrasing how O directed CIA to find him. Made it sound like no one did before, Read more
Check me out! Guest blogging on Peg’s blog! Had to use a set of guidelines and write a romantic suspense scene to go with it! Pop over and say hi! In a couple weeks, there will be a vote for which story you liked best :). Carol Moncado’s Purple Shadows
Current Facebook Status: Maggie has a horrible headache. Never seen one of my kids look so headache-y miserable :(. Sending her to bed at 7 in hopes that extra sleep will help. [Actually from last night] Playing in the Background: Imagination Movers. Again. NovelTrack progress: 13231/50000 Making progress on SUBURBAN STRAIGHTJACKET, though this first draft isn’t being nearly as amusing as I’d like. /sigh/ But I’m still making progress. There may even be a /gasp/ Read more
Remember those goals I set at the end of last year? Yeah, doing okay on some of those. Not so well on others. For instance, I have read NO craft books yet this year. However, I don’t have a list of fiction books I’ve read. It’s likely dozens though. At least 2-3 dozen. And I just started a new one ;). I am ready to query UNBREAK HER HEART. That’s my goal for this year. Read more
Facebook Status: Would like to thank the thunderstorm for that one last, insanely loud thunderclap that woke the 3yo up before 630. He then woke up the 5yo. They are both cranky. It’s going to be a long day. But I do get to go to a Beverly Lewis/Julie Klassen book signing today. Playing in the background: Tangled NovelTrack: 8111 [that was Apr. 1-5, haven’t written a word since Tuesday], goal: 50K God’s Timing is Read more
…is perfect. Shocking, no? I had several emails pop up last night. None of them knew about yesterday’s post. But they were just what I needed. I’m feeling much much better today :). At least until Genesis semi-finalists are announced tomorrow. Then I may head back downwards. But at least I’m more prepared for it. And you know… This was my Facebook status when I posted yesterday [still is actually]: In the middle of my Read more
FYI: Mom, you’re not gonna like this post. Be forewarned. Ugh. “Life’s full of ups and downs.” Hills and valleys. Mountains and… well, valleys. I hate valleys. I know I’m supposed to like them and be all “God, thanks for helping make me stronger” and stuff, but yeah. Notsomuch. Maybe someday I can look back on them and say that [and I have], but when going through them… /sigh/ I’ve been promising myself I’d be Read more
The whole reason I started yesterday’s post was to include this link so I could have a chance to win… Here it is… http://www.tyndale.com/blog/?p=1042 http://www.tyndale.com/blog/?p=1042http://www.tyndale.com/blog/?p=1042
NovelTrack started Friday, April 1. Check out Mary Connealy’s newest book posted over on Inkwell Inspirations – Lasso the Moon. 😉 Friday, I wrote 716 words total. That was all on PRAYERS ANSWERED. Saturday, I wrote another 1159 on PA, but reached a point where I need to figure out what I don’t know so I can learn it. Cops. FBI. Etc. Rather than write it and need to rewrite it later, I’m waiting to Read more
