First I have to say it’s the beginning of the month and the child support should be rolling in. Woo Whoo! Sooo… I went to the mall and bought Emma her summer swimsuit and matching sunglasses, what do ya think? I have one from the Gap that I want to get her too. The resale is so great on Ebay.
On to writer stuff. Oh the relief! I made a decision on that thing I was fretting over yesterday. After imploring advice from a bundle of people, I decided. Here was the situation. NCP requested a full for my manuscript Grounds for Arousal, and I just made it to the next cut with Ellora’s Cave with that same book. But after a lot of thought… a lot of realistic thoughts, I really wanted to send it to NCP. I like what I’ve seen from them, their authors seem happy. I love this book, but it’s also the second book I ever wrote. So… it doesn’t have Deep POV or anything, but I still think it’s really good. If they both reject me, I’ll rewrite the crap out of that baby and see if Cobblestone will have me :) Another book out for submission, and out of my head.
Today, I ate good! YAY! I’m making myself get onto some kind of routine. I’m doing a Slim Fast for breakfast, a normal lunch and a small dinner or light tv dinner. I have to go back to Weight Watchers on Friday, and would rather not have the scale moo at me when I step on it. Tomorrow I will exercise again. I also have to help my mom shop for all the Easter baskets for the grandkids. Fun fun!
I sent out the Christmas story, so I can put that out of my head. And now I’m onto the series novella. I’ve started doing research on ghosts and hauntings–not such a hardship because I actually love the whole paranormal UFO/Ghosts stuff. I’ll do an outline and then start the book tomorrow most likely.
Wow! Sable just sent us out images for business cards! It’s got the cover of our book on it, and our name and Cobblestone Author. Ahhhh… I’m so freaking excited! You know how those guys stand on corners holding signs? Well, I’m going to take a shift and hand out business cards!
Okay, it wasn’t much of a post today, but… was it good for you?
yes, I think this is an acceptable entry, so decrees I..queen of nothing. *tired grin*
love the little outfit, that is too cute.
as to NCP, I’m with them. I like them. if you’re okay with this choice, then so am I. (I mean what other answer would I give here?) ;)
and hey, ghosts. oh my. you know that was my first stint into writing paranormals. then I got the bug and it’s been a love affair ever since. I hope you’ll enjoy writing about the boogie man as much as I do.
much success, chica.
Oh, good luck with the ghosts and NCP. ;) If you feel that’s your best option, then go for it!
Love the outfit! I need to get the kids news suits, but after what I just spent on softball stuff it’ll have to wait lol. :P
Awww, what a cute outfit!!! Totally love it!!! Way to go with eating well…I am still working on that one.
Have fun with that research! I love looking up stuff about what I’m writing on…and if it’s ghosts….oh my……waaaaaaay too much fun!! lol
MUAH!
First, the outfit, totally adorable! *g*
As for the epublisher, both are good publishers. I’ve seen the works of NCP, and it like it. So do whatever you feel best for your writing career. I know, quite the cryptic advice, but one must become a businessperson and look at the situation objectively and see how making one decision will affect one’s career.
Good luck with your Christmas story. *g*
I’ve always loved anything you write! You have such a great humor, it makes a regular day have sunshine in it!
Congrats on hearing from EC and NCP. Good luck! You’re a great writer and it’s just a matter of time before you hit it super big!
