Okay, that’s it…

At least I think that’s it. I think I’m home for awhile. This has been WAY too busy of a summer!

This is where I’ve been this last few days. Since I have small children, I didn’t do any of the wild rides, but I still had a great time lounging around.

In writing news, I finished two synopses that I have sent to my agent. I like the second one better–hopefully she will agree. My husband loves it, which is probably a bad sign. Anyway, I’m trying something slightly new lately–various forms of chick lit. I think it is a good fit for me. I like reading chick lit and I like writing in the first person. (not that everything will be in the first person.) I have one proposal for a hen lit finished and the two synopses I have done are paranormal chick lit. They are a lot of fun. I just hope other people think so too. ;-)

In the blogging world, just want to say how sorry I am for what Paperback Writer is going through. Enough said.

Once I settle back down, I may revisit what I learned at the RWA Conference (Not touching the awards ceremony mess, except to say I was not offended by it and am still not offended by it.) or I may give an overview of A First Draft in 30 Days. Karen Weisner is speaking on it at my local RWA meeting this Saturday.

Oh, I almost forgot. My friend, Chris Merrill won the Golden Heart–had I mentioned that yet? She’s the one they forgot to announce when they were reading the finalists. Ha! Showed them–she won the darn thing. (big grin) Here’s a picture.

Chris Merrill and me--After her GH win!!

  1. Welcome back!! Great picture! I love First Draft in 30 Days. But I am varing the technique to suit me better for right now. Once things settle down I’ll try it straight up.


  2. Two synopses for your agent?! Man, I’m having a hard time just keeping up with the weird inconsistencies the copy editor has found in my first book.

    I love the look of your blog. It’s very classy.

    That said, I can still kick your butt any any time.
