I love my “local” chapter of RWA (Romance Writers of America) … despite the fact that they meet four hours from my home and refuse to change their meeting location for me. . No, seriously, without this wonderful group of writers I know the road to publication would have been filled with potholes of doubt [...]

RWA and Other Writing Quandaries
Published March 31st, 2009 in Curiosity, MERWA, Opinions, RWA and Rants. ClosedI’ve been writing for nearly four years. I can’t even begin to list all the things I’ve learned about the publishing industry in that short period of time. This world rotates with its own set of rules and expectations. It’s a wild ride that continues to throw me for loops and twists with every turn. [...]
And I’m Looking Forward …
Published March 26th, 2009 in Conventions, MERWA and Thursday Thirteen. 21 CommentsSo I’m leaving today to go to the New England writer’s conference down in Framingham, MA.

St. Patty’s Day Blessings to all! I feel a bit o’rambling coming on. I took Little Boy Blue to the doctor’s last week. (At 18 and 6′ 5″ he’s a bit bigger than most of the little ones showing up at the pediatricians. And the nurses just love him.) Poor thing ended up having an [...]
Say it’s “Just Riiiiigt”
Published March 15th, 2009 in Editing, Liquid Silver Books and Writing. 11 CommentsOkay, I’m going to admit it in public. I love editing. Don’t hate me and please don’t throw things at me. I do. It’s one of my favorite parts of the writing process. I’m pushing through a first draft at the moment. And when I say pushing, that’s what I mean. I force myself to [...]
