I couldn’t check in last night because the Internet stopped working. Unlike “the dog ate my homework,” this is no excuse. I was happily blogging away and couldn’t publish my post. Sometime between the time I started writing it and finished it to hit “publish,” I lost the Internet...

I sure am more productive when I can’t leave the house on my day off! That’s not entirely true: I did make it to Starbucks for a couple of hours this afternoon. I got some writing done there — but I also did quite a bit at the house....

Not long after I finished my last post, I decided to check my gmail account one more time. I certainly wasn’t expecting what awaited me there … … a reply from one of the agents I queried this morning! They want to see the first 30 pages of “Operation...

Checking in again: I didn’t spent quite an hour treating writing as my day job today (Monday), but I did accomplish what I set out to do. That’s right — I sent out two query letters. Yep. You read that correctly. Two agents now have my query for “Operation...

I got a little writing done today … very little. I’d say I wrote about a page — a far cry from the heady days of November when I was writing 2,000 words a day. Guess I’ll look at the positive: It’s a page more than I wrote yesterday....

I’ve set “Blind Date Bride” aside for a couple of weeks, letting it rest before I start editing. But now I’m at a bit of a loss. What next? I have other manuscripts I could be editing/rewriting/expanding, including the two that follow my GH entry. (It’s part of a...

With just a little more than 8,000 words to write to hit the 90K mark needed for a single-title contemporary, I’m finding words are just pouring out of my head an onto the page. Where was all this enthusiasm last week, when I needed it to end the NaNo...

I just checked my delivery confirmation via the U.S. Postal Service and nearly had a heart attack: No record of that number on file. It turned out, I incorrectly entered the tracking number from my receipt. When I typed in the correct number, the computer told me my GH...

That’s how much my Golden Heart entry weighs. It’s 36 pages of 6-page synopsis and 210 pages of the first 42 pages of my MS. How do I know how much it weighs? Easy — I put it on my trusty kitchen scale. (I knew there had to be...
