  • Actually, NaNoWriMo is going okay, provided that you define success in terms of what you’ve learned rather than what you’ve produced. I’ve blogged all about it on the Ruby Slippered Sister blog (the group blog for my fellow Golden Heart finalists).

    In general, my writing is going really well right now; I’m feeling inspired and excited by Madeleine and Ferguson’s story, and I’m looking forward to just getting on with it already. Unfortunately, I went through a bit of a slump in September and October; part of it is my natural despair over another birthday + the shortening days + the cooler weather, but most of it was because I didn’t see the way forward with my second book. Now I do, and even if November is generally a bleak month until the saving grace of Thanksgiving, I’m in a much better mood.

    What you won’t see, however, is completely regular blogging here. There are only so many hours in the day, and given that I’m not published and only my mother reads this, there seems to be little point. Once the book sells, I’ll blog more frequently; until then, please check back and get excited when something new appears :)

  • I had to share this deal that I found in my latest email from Publishers Marketplace:

    FICTION: WOMEN’S/ROMANCE
    R.G. Alexander’s BONE DADDY, a three-novella single-author erotic anthology about a sexually charged voodoo spirit, the people whose bodies he inhabits, and the mischief he creates, to Kate Seaver at Berkley HEAT, for publication in summer 2010, by Roberta Brown of the Brown Literary Agency.

    The reason I had to share is because my father, for whatever reason, likes to say “bone daddy” in a rather menacing voice when he’s got his electric carving knife out and ready to do some damage to a ham or turkey. Reading this sale announcement and hearing my father’s voice in my head saying “bone daddy” has scarred me for life!

    Today was fine on the writing front, albeit not fantastic; I wrote ~2000 words, which is less than half of what I wanted to write, but is still eight pages farther along than I was before today. Hopefully I’ll get a chance to write tomorrow, but the day job requires some serious attention. Have a lovely Sunday!
