Lazy days of summer are coming to an end :)

Family/Friends:

First and foremost happy Labor Day weekend to you all!  I hope you and yours are enjoying the time off and spending it doing something fun.

Second, I want to let you know that I'm excited (and nervous of course) because just yesterday I sent in my 21K+ word story to the publisher for consideration.  I should point out that the publisher had already read the 1st Edition of the book which resulted in them requesting modifications and requesting extra word count, hence the 2nd Edition of the book.  In the meantime, until I hear back from them, I am furiously working on other projects some of which have fallen by the wayside when I took on the 2nd Edition challenge. Amongst my plans for the remainder of the year are the release of two other eBooks, several interviews in September & October, and time permitting I do want to delve into restructuring two books which were also submitted to other publishers but rejected, Memory of Heart and To Have and to Hold. Restructuring and polishing those two books will most likely be a six-month project, so I have my work cut out for me.

Lastly, I want to say thank you to everyone whose purchased my books, read my blogs, follow me on Twitter, offer encouragement and have been in communication with me in one shape or form. I do appreciate you!!

That's all for now folks. Now go get a burger, have a beer or something :-)

Calgon...take me away!

Family/Friends, I understand now why some companies/celebreties hire people to tend to their Social Media networking, it is very time consuming, not to mention mentally exhausting. Point in case, just today I spent over an hour on Blogger and YouTube working out some kinks with my profile/settings. My head's spinning and I'm pooped. On the topic of Social Media, I'd like to take a moment to thank my daughter, Pamela for acting as a consultant on the topic. Pamela works in the field and has actually helped launch my first AdWords campaign. Although it is progressing slowly, I have seen an increase in site ( www.mywritingden.net ) traffic and Twitter - 10 new followers in a week. I've also been receiving sporadic emails from 'fans' telling me how much they enjoy my stories...so this keeps me going. Ohhh, and a VERY notable mention to Linus Ly who gave me the idea to use a 'new' slogan Erotica, She Wrote . Liked it so much I'm already using it. T...

Family/Friends, I'm six and a half days way from going into a NaNoWriMo 'leave of absence'. Yep, this means the Flash Fiction Friday section of my website will be on hold until 12/7.  Also, I don't expect to be online much (Twitter or Facebook), but will check email periodically. On a side note, I want to say thanks to those of you who have recently signed up to this blog, I appreciate you.  Oh, and thank you also to those folks who have visited this site from Russia,  Sweden, and Malaysia. I think that's pretty awe-SOME! Well, that's all for now. Until next time! Maria
