MY LOVE ~ This is the series you don't want to miss, not when every couple dreams of knowing for certain when they have become one.

Hey Rhonda,

Sorry it took me MONTHS to get back to you. Just checked my page, and checkin' to see what people are up to. Haven't fulfilled any of my three wishes yet, but I'm on my way! :D  Hope all is well with you.  

-Janice

Thank you for the comment on my photography; I have been a photographer for over twenty years, but have written for longer, just not to earn my money. Thank you for the subscription to my blog. Just to let you know, I only blog once a week; can't seem to fit in any more. All the best, Kat

You are "accepted" as a "friend".  Hello friend.

The Training Manual is finished (... and they want MORE)!  The novel is nearing the end.  (Hope to finish it over the holidays.)  The non-fiction will have to wait until the New Year since my marketing and PR firm is growing 90-to-nothing!  I really related to the woman who blogged about wanting to quit her "day job" in order to write.  KNOW THIS:  It's the day-job that pays for the creative art ... until it can pay for itself!  Thanks for checking in!

Rhonda, thank you!  I am through chapter four on my new novel -- I hope you are doing well, too!

At 9:52am on November 28, 2011, Patricia Woodside said…

First, Rhonda, I'm wowed by your follow-up.  That you actually did contact me is amazing. 

 

Thanks so much for asking.  I'm just under 60k words into the novel I started for NaNo.  The one I was writing back in July, I put aside, but I'll get back to that one.  For now, I'm focused on finishing the first draft of this new story, then polishing it so I can submit.  Then I'll finish the other story.  That will get me 2 of the 3 wishes.  I haven't done anything as far as freelancing so that will be a 2012 goal.

 

How are you doing on your three wishes?  I realize that contacting me helps you to meet one of yours.  And the other two?

At 10:00pm on November 26, 2011, Jennifer Sullivan Corkern said…

Rhonda,

 

Wow, I am blown away! I'm so impressed by you following through this way. And what a wonderful reminder of those three wishes.

 

I had twins in April and it's only this week that I feel like I might be settling back into a regular routine with my memoir. I'd finished a revision of the first half before they were born, and am now slowly working my way through the revision of the second half. I also did apply to Hedgebrook (!!!) and will hear from them sometime in December. As part of that application, I outlined my nonfiction book proposal. It's nothing close to a formal proposal, but it's a start.

 

Anyway, I hope your writing is going well too. I love that you are checking in on all of us. Thanks for the reminder and the rooting!

 

Warmly,

Jennifer

Glad 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 are in the "Our Water Cooler Wednesdays" box near the top of the group page. Hope you can join us for that.

I Woke Up in Harlem

I witnessed the sun rise over Harlem. Harlem NYC.How different it is to wake up here than in Raleigh. No birds singing. No birds in sight. No grass, few trees. No greenery to be seen. But I have found a LOVE for it. I walked down Lenox Avenue, 125th…See More
