Congratulations to my critique partner, Diana Cosby!! She just sold two books to Zebra!
I am so happy for you, Diana!

New Day Dawning

Today's my day off from the "other" job! Yay! Of course I have a hundred chores to do, running errands, touch up painting in my kitchen and paying bills. That leaves some of the day left to writing. I used to sit down and write all day, but tendinitis in my elbows has taught me that's not a good idea. So now I'll spend an hour or two doing tasks related to writing, write an hour or two, then take a break. Hopefully I won't get too distracted this afternoon and will be back at the computer doing what I love to do - write!

Coming Out of the Darkness

Writing is like sleeping and eating.  It's something I have to do.  I've been away from writing too long, but sometimes life gets in the way of our plans, and we have to learn to accept our limitations.

When my husband's illness required all my waking moments when I wasn't working my full-time job, I realized I could complain but it wouldn't help the situation.  I gave up one of the things that keeps me going - writing.  

I was tired all the time and had little energy to give to my muse.  It was the right solution, even though my writing career stumbled.

The funny thing is, I'm more determined than ever to sell again.  So keep checking my web site and my blog for the latest news!  I promise to keep you updated!
