Don’t forget my Free Book Contest is drawing to a close. I’m giving away a signed first edition paperback copy of my book, The Other Side of What.
The winner will be drawn this Saturday and notified via email. You can reply with your shipping address and how you would like the book personalized.
Although the hair is slowly going anyway, I’ve really wanted to pull some more out this week. I’m going on almost 2 weeks now without a reply from an agent. And there’s always that lil demon on my shoulder saying, “Remember, some of them just won’t reply anyway.” Geez…
Also, last week I spent some time going back and rereading what I’m now calling The Piano Maker. As much as I wanted them to, those characters just weren’t speaking to me so I could work on their story. It’s been too long for them and I don’t know where they’ve gone right now, but I lack motivation to continue on it while I’m waiting.
Instead, I’m preparing for vacation in two weeks. More about that later but it involves the beach, a funny straw hat, some good books, and a blank notebook. That’s about it.
There’s another project on the back burner which I may have mentioned somewhere around here by now. It would probably consume me if I got back into it, but I think I’m ready. It requires lots of research. Some of which I’ve already done. But for some reason, a lil “monkey” has been talking to me about it and I think it’s the story that’s wanting to be told right now.
I’ve always considered myself to be a “character medium” of sorts, so forgive me for sounding all crazy. But hey, I’m a writer. They pop into my head and then I just tell their story. That’s it.
