Back at it

Hello all. it's been a while, and I apologize for that. However, I'm back at my writing and more than ever. The first book is finished and polish. I'm working hard on the second book. I'm also getting some freelance writing jobs. And I'm wanting to tell you all about each of them.

First off... Freelancing. I love it. It's fun. I've applied to a few freelance companies, and I've gotten some work. It's still very sporadic, but I am hoping I get more work soon.

The second book is coming along. As of tonight, I am on page 127 and chapter 7. It's been a blast so far. I have to admit, I hadn't written in four months. Between the holidays, getting really sick with pneumonia for over a month, my divorce going through and a few other things going on. I know... excuses, excuses. However, I took a break and am back to writing full force.

The first book you ask? I'm so glad you asked! I have been sending out queries to publishing houses and literary agents. I received a response from one agent. It was a no, BUT from what I understand, they will critique your submissions. I didn't get that. She said they were not looking for that style of book, but I should keep looking. She said someone is looking for that style of writing and to keep it up. So, that's got to be good. I've got a journal I've started for places TO query and places I have and when and what the response is as I get responses.

So... here we go again. I am happy you're coming along with me on this trip!
