    New site/ Key Publications

    Saturday, October 17, 2009, 06:50 PM EST [General]

    I think it was on Writer's Market that someone mentioned Viciouswriters.com, and keypublications.  I have to say, i joined the social page for keypublications, and it is awesome.  Since joining, i have had so much feedback on my novel, and great people to talk to; that i am over excited! 

    As writers we love to chat about our characters, and get feedback.  There seems to be plenty on that site.  If you would like more input.. sign up!

    So, if anyone wants to join:   key-publications-network.socialgo.com  check it out.

    I really love that people there make you feel like you were the "key" element missing from their friends list.

    Temporary insanity

    Monday, October 12, 2009, 07:13 PM EST [General]

    I think i have temporary writing insanity!

    So many days go by lately where i feel the need to write, and life keeps stopping me.  I changed my hours at work to a 5:30 am to 2:30pm schedule.  I thought this would give me more time in the evenings with my children.  I love it.  My only issue now is, there is always someone around when i want to write. 

    Sometimes, i need solitude.  I was thinking that maybe sitting in the bathtub (without water people), and the laptop would be the best place to hide.  But alas, they come knocking on that door too!  :)

    For now, i guess i will just have to concentrate on a few paragraphs a day- after the kids homework is done.  I'd rather leave the bathtub for soaking!

    I did find that authors den is offering a special for it's members on self publishing through lulu.com.  If anyone is interested check out authorsden.com for more info.  Please be wary though, as self publishing means....no agent, and YOU market your book.

    The publishing company who requested my manuscript will probably give me some type of response between mid November or December.  The publisher is quick to reply to my emails.  This means to me, they really do keep up with their potential clients. 

    So friends, as soon as i know something, i will let you know.

    Happy Writing!

    Thanks for wanting to read my book!

    Mental illness is still so very misunderstood. I commend you for helping your nephew. Dr. E. Fuller Torrey, author of Surviving Schizophrenia, calls schizophrenia the modern day equivalent of leprosy. Schizoaffective disorder is on the continuum between bipolar and schizophrenia -- it’s really not a combination of all three. Think of it as a line, with schizophrenia on one end and bipolar on the other, with schizoaffective disorder somewhere in-between. There’s still controversy, but most doctors believe its more in the schizophrenic realm. For example: primary symptoms are delusions and hallucinations, but with manic features. It’s all very complicated, and more and more, the lines blur. Some of the newer meds are used to successfully treat both schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness) is a great source of information. www.nami.org . Check it out.

    The letter has definitely been the most difficult part of the process. As writers, we are all about the details. We want our readers to FEEL the story. That's impossible to do in just a few short paragraphs! I guess if I've left you wanting more then the mini-synopsis has done it's job. We'll see how it goes!
