Today I set my alarm to make sure I was able to get tickets for little one’s dance recital…on a Saturday, when I’m sick, and they sold out in 3 minutes!!! And felt triumphant.

Ahhhh, so it begins…
Tis the season where only the most determined triumph:

Me as I plant seeds & seedlings or
the squirrels & chipmunks as they collect the seeds/snack on seedlings

So far the chipmunks are in the lead

A R Interesting premise and compelling characters.

Be mindful of head hopping and allowing your POV character to assign motives or thoughts to another character

Just pitched an idea in a contest and am working on finishing this Romantasy. Then I’m going back to a previous manuscript for a rewrite to turn it into a paranormal romance (perhaps for RevPit next year?) 😉 Will look into local/online conferences

#RevPitWaiting T-3

Even after #RevPit winners are announced, our writing journeys are far from over. We'll still be walking down our paths, just with upgraded tools thanks to the editors & our community.

So what's next for you?

4/11 - Writing Goals. Regardless of what happens on Monday, what are your next writing goals? Do any of us have similar paths?
