NANOWRIMO - Sticking to It, Creating the Magic

Okay, I'll admit it. I'm a little eentsy-weentsy bit behind, I should be breaking 25,000 words tomorrow and I'm at 19,056. But there's still time, right? Nanowrimo is always a double-edged sword for me. The old reporter in me stresses out over missed deadlines and the fiction writer on the other shoulder argues that there's no point in putting random words down just to hit a number - they need to be at least close to the right words.    Regardless, Nanowrimo has helped me hone my focus on…See More

Self-Publishing vs. Finding an Agent - The Changing Dynamic

Posted on October 17, 2011 at 12:00pm 0 Comments

There is an article in today's NY Times that is well worth reading for anyone sitting on the fence, as I am:

http://www.nytimes.com/2011/10/17/technology/amazon-rewrites-the-rules-of-book-publishing.html

Throughout my writing journey thus far I have been focused on finding an agent, because I have very little idea of how the business side of writing works. The agents I…

Occupy NaNoWriMo

Posted on October 13, 2011 at 6:00pm 2 Comments

After checking in and reading the blog post "Just Say No to NaNoWriMo", currently residing in the Top Ten, I wanted to offer a counterpoint. I work full-time, and I write when I can steal a few minutes here and there - most often as I'm waiting at the dance school during my daughter's lessons. I am in writer's purgatory, not-yet-published, putting food on the table and doing my best to get things in order for THE CALL.

     If you are going to be a writer you put your behind in the…

With apologies for being tardy with my welcome, we're delighted to have you in the novelist group! You might introduce yourself by telling us what you’re working on in the “Show Me Your Novel and I’ll Show You Mine” discussion if you're not too uncomfortable talking about what you're working on. We save the wall for discussion, so please refrain from linking to blog posts there, but do add them in the “Links to Helpful Blog Posts for Writers” discussion thread. And we do a live chat every Wednesday at 1EST; instructions on how to participate if you haven't done so already are in the "Our Water Cooler Wednesdays" box near the top of the group page.

Hello Heather!

I want to personally Thank You for joining my group Blooming Late!

I took a look at your blog and found it interesting especially since my child has just turned ten and is in the range.

I see you were invited from one of the great ladies of our group and I hope you find a writing home with us. We have lots of great women here who are a wonderful source of support, encouragement and inspiration for writing.

Please make sure you introduce yourself to the group in our To Kick Things Off discussion as well as list your blog and any books you have in the pages sectiont ot he left on the front of the groups main page.

You might have already seen we have a few discussions for people doing NaNo this year like me.

I am glad you are here and WELCOME to my group!
