Okay, so as far as my revisions they are going quite well. I’m really happy with them. As you guys know, my first two books were published at a smaller publishing house. The book I’m working on now is the book that I hope gets attention from a bigger publisher. But last night I started [...] Welcome 2011! So hmm, what’s new? Well, I am feeling very encouraged with my book. I’m happy to say I’m back on track. After getting tons of research material and interviewing an expert, (more on that later this week) I feel that I’m shaping this novel into something—dare I say it?—great. There. It’s out there. [...] I know many of you have noticed a trend in my blog lately. Why oh why have I stopped blogging on Mondays? I read several blogs, and most bloggers don’t blog on the weekend, (although some do, bravo to you!) so most expect a new post when Monday roles around. I know I’ve been slipping. [...] Aahhh, the dreaded question. A friend or family member is making small talk and asks the question that most writers (or is it just me?) hates. “So, how’s the book going?” “Um…well…it’s going…” “Is it going to be better than the last book?” “That’s the plan.” “When are you going to be finished?” With [...] Yesterday on the blog, I mentioned how I’m learning patience with this novel. I’m giving it time to develop and not rushing the writing—something I can do since I’m not on a deadline. But it can be easy to confuse patience with laziness. How do you tell the difference? Well you know you’re a lazy [...] When I was six months pregnant, a family member told me that I would never be able to finish my book. (I was in the process of writing Six O’clock.) I got so upset that I cried. Mostly, because I knew how hard it would be to find time to write with a newborn. But [...] I’m almost there guys. I’m about 100 pages away from finishing this novel. Let me rephrase that…I’m 100 pages away from finishing my second draft of this novel. I don’t know if I should laugh or cry, but I feel like crying. Let me explain. Imagine you’re running a marathon. You hear the whistle [...] If you follow me on Facebook, (And why not? I’m wicked funny), then you know that I finally typed THE END to the novel I’m working on. Details about what the novel is about is coming soon, but right now, I’m just enjoying the fact that I’ve done it again. That I finished another book. [...] As a hairstylist, your day changes constantly. It’s full of surprises. A typical day could go something like this: 9:00 a.m. My first client called saying she’s running ten minutes late. I chat with co-workers and play with my hair. More hairspray here, straighten side part, turn head side to side—done! Fabulous. 9:15 a.m. [...] So I mentioned to you last week, that my mother told me that I’m not all that. I have a loving mother and the comment sounds harsh, so let me give you some background information. I was sitting at the kitchen table complaining about my lot in life. You know the whole ungrateful spiel [...] |
I’m a Women’s Fiction writer with two novels under my belt, Six O’clock and Unbeweaveable. Curl Up and Write is where I fuse my two loves: hair and writing. You’d be surprised at the similarities! When I’m not writing, I’m watching How’s It Made with my Hubby (and pretending I’m not interested in learning how a tennis racket is built), or I’m reading to my daughter. I also dabble in gardening, love to cook, and watch way too much HGTV.  |
