Reprieve for my Manuscript.

Family/Friends,

Update to my Snowed In 2nd Edition, MS that was due to IRN on 8/10, I've been given an extension (YES!). So, I will be furiously working toward a polished copy to send in the next 1-2 weeks.

As for my writing challenge, I've missed two days this week and about the reading, I've actually caught up.  I've finished two books, a paperback type (downloaded to my Nook) and a short story that I offer to read and critique for a fellow writer.

I want to say congratulations to Tonya Kinzer, fellow Romance Writer who won a copy of my Snowed In 1st Edition eBook via the Brenda & Steve Blog where I was interviewed recently.

That's all for now folks. Take care and until next time!

Maria

  1. Congrats on the extension! Always sucks when you fall behind on a deadline but wonderful when you find an understanding person. Good luck and hit the keyboard!

  2. Hi Lindsay,

    My due date was tentative one, hence the reprieve. In the next few months all my deadlines will be hard dates :-)

    Take care!

Writing is HARD work. There I said it!

Recently, I had a conversation with a fellow writer about different writing styles. We talked about how some writers can simply sit down on a computer and write on command; I cannot. My pre-writing process can take me ten, fifteen, twenty minutes or more and it usually involves me ‘getting in to character’; I need to connect with the hero and heroine before I can delve into their lives. It is then when I’m emotionally attached that ideas begin to form I’m able to capture the thoughts and the scenes and the story begins to unfold. I can tell you that when I begin to write a story, I too experience the same nervousness that a lot of writers feel. Will anyone read my stuff? Will anyone care about what I have to say? This is the fretful process of a writer, yet, we, I, push forward and write with excitement, optimism, and a lot of discipline. On an amusing note (or maybe not so) one thing that we, writers, often encounter is that non-writers tend to think that writing is easy.
