Watch Out for the Flying Pigs! :)

So, exciting news! I had an agent request my full manuscript! How elated am I? So, this has been a GREAT day! I just wanted to let you all know. Keep your fingers, eyes, and toes crossed for me. I'll keep you updated. :)

Changes to Chapter #1

Some of you might have noticed that I took chapter 1 off the site. I'm working on the revisions, and wanted to not put up less than perfect work. :) (I thought it was perfect, but a few agents told me it needed adjustments.)

Love is in the Air...

So you are looking at an official member of The Romance Writers of America! :) How fun is that? It's a national organization where I'll be able to network with other writers and get some great feedback on my projects. I'm also excited because once my membership card comes in, I can join the local Sacramento chapter. Talk about good times. :)

I'm also excited to say that I am progressing quickly on the requested revisions from the agents and publisher I met at the SDSU writer's conference.

Thanks for all your support and encouragement. Keep your fingers crossed.

SDSU Writing Conference-2009

It was a wonderful weekend. Susan and I made it for the opening reception and met some interesting characters right off the bat. But, it was alot of fun. We had a great morning Saturday. The agent I specifically went to meet gave me some great tips and encouragement. She said she remembered my previoius submission and that I had a very strong voice and was a strong story teller.

I met another agent who encouraged me to submit to her as well, and found an editor that I clicked well with. Hopefully all will work out, and things will progress.

San Diego, Here I Come! :)

Welcome to my new bloggers, you guys rock! I'll be leaving next Friday for the San Diego Writer's conference, and I'm excited to say a dear friend of mine, Susan, will be coming with me. I'm looking forward to all the breakout session and schmoozing with some industry people. (Don't I sound almost big time?)

I finished Chapter 1 in 3rd person, like the agent suggested, and I have to tell you...I think it flows pretty well.(Is that why she's the professional?) Schro likes it better (he thought first person was a little stilted). I forgot to save it on my zip drive, so it's at work on my desktop. I'll post it Monday.

Keep your fingers crossed, and stay tuned for some fun updates. :)

Woo-hoo!!!!!

Ok, so let me tell you what's better than 25 rejections...Those 2 possibilities that are still out there. I had another agent contact me about my book. She suggested a few changes for the novel, and I immediately started working on them. I'm so hopeful. Also, I might be attending a Writer's Conference in San Diego next weekend, and have the chance to meet her face to face. Way cool! :) Cross your fingers.

Back in the Saddle Again...

Working on the 3rd chapter of my sequel. Exciting stuff. :) I think we'll have a contest to have one of you name a character in the novel. I'll get back to you on that, though. :)
