  • Writing Retreats – Finding Your Focus

    Blog

    I’m not afraid to admit that my writing has been a bit unfocused of late. I traveled like mad this summer, which is why my blog went on a bit of an extended hiatus. I also submitted my latest book to publishers this spring, and I’m always a bit of a basketcase during the submission process (perhaps a post for another time). But now that I’m settled and eager to get back into my writing, I needed to jumpstart my process and find my focus again.

    Ironically, I found that the best way to focus was to run away again. Pray, tell me more! →

  • NaNoWriMo = NoNoNoNo

    Blog

    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).

  • Bone Daddy

    Blog

    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!
