eBook Sabbatical :-)

Family/Friends,

As of this past week, I have made a decision to finally publish an eBook on Amazon - the goal is to have two eBoooks published by 8/31/12. As such, I will be in hiatus from Erotica Tales for this summer working on content. I have also put the the manuscripts (for two online publishing firms) on hold to focus all my energy into the eBook/s. I will be active on my FB Fan Page https://www.facebook.com/pages/My-Writing-Den/368907206455014# throughout, but other forms of Social Media (Twitter, Pinterest, etc.) will be kept to a minimum.

A quick update on recent events:

--Blogging Contest finished 5/28 and it yielded ten more fans on FB and three more followers on my Blogspot (here) along with a few other followers on my site http://www.mywritingden.net/.
--Woman's World has sent me the 'thanks but no thanks' letter and although it was disappointing, I'm moving on quickly.
--I have gone back to attending the Romance Writer's of America - Desert Rose Chapter monthly meeting, along with Phoenix Writers Club and Scottsdale Society of Women Writers.

Well, that's all for now folks.

Take care and 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.
