Here I am messing up my blog. I hope someone reads it. We had a lovely six thousand mile road trip. My husband is ready to go again, not me. I'm tired of traveling and am anxious to get back to writing. I want to finish at least one of the novels sitting on the shelf before the first of the year. I got a rejection slip on a short story so guess I'll stick to writing novels.
I'll be glad to get in touch with my writing friends.

Jo's thoughts.

Well, now, no comments, does that mean no readers?
MY novel Apple was released in March. It is a sequel of Teri. Damsels in distress type of books. I'm not happy with Publish America because I have to promote the sales myself. My royalty check was under two dollars!
I'm going to try another publisher for my finished novel Snap Decisions. We'll see if that goes better. I rec eived a sheet that told specifically what they want. I have no problem with that except the length. I told my story in under 40 thousand words, but they want 50 or over. so I have to use the dreaded ly words to take up space. also may go to longer lengths with a minor character.

Happy Valentines Day

Here I go again.I hope I have better luck.for some reason or other I get stopped. today, Valentines Day Feb. 14 2009 I attended an authors fair in LHC.
met other fellow authors. sold one of my books and traded two authors for their books.
I love my book, Teri about a damsel in distress, but wish I hadn't been quite so ecplicit in the sex scenes. MY sequel, Apple, will be out in March.
I held back a little on the sex scenes.
I have begun novel three. This will be about a young man. I have b een reclusive as I wrote my novels, but have asked to re-join the writing group on-line for short stories.
Soes anyone know the diffdrence between critiquing and editing? I met with fellow authors trhe other night and it seems to me we have fallen into editing . That is a little more time consuming, but nice to have.
also enjoyed a trip to quartzite to the naked mans bookstore. My good friend Sharon took me with her. I sold three books there. I hope I get some comments sonetime.

Success

At last a novel TERI has been published. It came out in July by Publlishamerica. They did a fine job and it didn't cost me. ow I'll see if any of them sold. read that the best way to get your book published is to write another.

fourth try it freezes up after two sentences??

Here I go again. sharon if you read this you may have suggestions. I just get going and the computer won't let me type anymore. I am concentrating on my sequel to Teri a novel published in June under an alias. This one is titled Apple and I'm about finished with it. Am getting tired of it.I have ideas for Ben and Bea and would like to get it published as a collection of stories. Also have fun meeting with friends to discuss writing.
