Looks like I’ll be having a day job again as of next week. Good for the bill paying situation, but I will miss spending the day with my little guy. I will also miss being able to nap since the baby has decided that 3-4:30AM is awake time.
So, the next couple of days writing is going to have to go on the back burner while I try and create some semblance of order around here. Luckily, until mid-November I should be able to write a little bit at work each day.
So, I’m working on rewriting my very first novel! There is absolutely nothing redeeming about it except the characters and the setting, so it’s a total rewrite. But, it should be fun to revisit my first characters who made it to “the end”. I’m even doing something with this story I said I’d never do! (More on that later).
But, I accomplished a lot in the past two months. I have sent out four novels to four different publishers, and I have entered four contests. I’m finally getting my work out there, and although that is challenging, it’s definitely making me a better writer. (And, just like the lottery, you can’t win if you don’t play).
