NaNoWriMo, eBook Release, Submittals and more...

Family/friends,

First off, I'd like to inform you that I did receive word back from the publishing firm, and I'm still working on edits/rewrites-round three!  And though this is all very exhausting right now I know it will all be worth it in the end.

Second, I'd like to say that the Amazon release day for my eBook Captive in the Game was phenomenal as over 1,600 people downloaded free copies of my book, this put me at Top 150 Amazon Best Sellers Rank Free in Kindle Store (at #143) on 10/1. Thank you to everyone who pitched in to help disseminate the information. I truly appreciate you.

Lastly, I want to advise those who follow my Flash Fiction Friday (FFF) Section that will be taking the month of November off from posting weekly stories as I will be dedicating my writing time solely to NaNoWriMo - FFF will resume on 12/7.

That's all folks.  I hope you guys have a great weekend and for those lucky enough, have a great long weekend :-)

Until next time!
Maria

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.
