Hi! I'm glad to be here! I honestly didn't think I would get accepted into 'She Writes' because I don't have a bunch of professional credentials behind my name. So I was pleasantly surprised when I…Continue

Hi All!I am sure this is common. I'm feeling spread too thin. My first novel was released in April. Pre-sales were great, but now it's lagging. I'm feeling torn between committing time to promote the…Continue

Enjoying one of those lovely moment days: I just got the Four Ms. Bradwells paperback fed ex from my editor, and it's GORGEOUS!

 

And really sorry to miss the chat Wednesday. I ended up on a 3 hour call with my editor on the new novel (but a very good three hours). Would love to hear about what you all discussed.

What great company! I love Percy's work and Jennifer's. Will have to read Tayara's work. Let us know where we can read your stories. How are you celebrating? And how are you using the grant? New work? Novel? Story collection?

So far today I've managed to add 4770 words to my total giving me 27178.  That pushes my completion date back to Dec 3. I'm going to continue to write all day.  There is a NaNoWriMo group meeting near by from 6-9pm tonight so I'm going.  Looking forward to great conversation, laughs, good company, and turning out more words.  I want to hit that 50k on time!

Kathy, Congratulations! How exciting! 

Comment by Kate Defrise on November 18, 2011 at 12:58pm

Congratulations, Kathy! This is huge! 

Comment by farzana on November 18, 2011 at 11:11am

wanting to add my congratulations to Kathy for her NEA fellowship!

Comment by Andrea Heiberg on November 18, 2011 at 10:56am

Kathy, Meg and Marilyn, thanks for your words. English is my second language and I use no editor here on SheWrites (well, I do speak English fluently but mistakes occur all the time).

And Meg, yes, that's a great idea. SheWrites changed - so when I got published in English, SheWrites stopped the promotion option. So YES!

And again Kathy, congrats.

Congratulations, Kathy! Good work.
