Writing update

Things have been crazy in my writing life the last few months, but in a good way. I attended my first ever RWA national conference, which you can read about in an earlier post dated August 2nd.

I’ve also joined an amazing group blog http://newkidonthewritersblock.blogspot.com/. I post two Saturday’s a month. My next post will be a spotlight on Emery Lee’s publishing journey on August 21st. Some might ask why I’ve joined a blog if I already have one. Well, there are several reasons, but mainly it was an amazing opportunity to concentrate solely on the craft of writing. In a group blog I’ve got fellow bloggers that provide support and they post about experiences I can relate to at my current stage of my writing career.
Over the past week I’ve started submitting my current novel, RISE FROM DARKNESS.

I’ve also been working on critiques for others, and writing book II of the series. Of course, I also have to fit time in for studying the craft. The current book I’m working on is BREAK INTO FICTION by Mary Buckham and Dianna Love. These ladies are amazing instructors and I hope to someday attend their plotting cruise. Four days at sea with fellow writers doing nothing but plotting my book. A writers dream! No kids, no phone, nothing but writing.

Last on the writing front, I'm working on new material for in-services at the middle schools. I’m also hoping to expand into high schools. I’ll be posting about those in a few days.

It’s time to go study. Enjoy your evening.
