Time to Query...

I'm so happy to announce I have a new CRITIQUE PARTNER!!! *crowd goes wild* Jackie Coates from New Zealand *waves to Jackie*

At Jackie's urging I have posted a query letter as on closer inspection it seems I posted my MS off mid May, not mid June....

So time is ticking on a little, and I was starting to panic slightly. Thank you to my friends and fellow writers at eHarlequin for talking me down...

So either letters will cross in the post or I'll hear something soon???

Keep praying, I want this so bad....

Hello to Suzanne Perazzini

Hi and welcome to my blog.

I have let the comp pass. It obviously wasnt meant to be....at least not this time. That's okay.

I will stick with my WIP and finish it, send it in the old fashioned way. You'll see from my blog my first manuscript took 10 years to complete...I put a current WIP aside to work on my comp entry so technically I have two WIPs so I need to focus.

I honestly will be happy if I get my WIP 1st draft complete this year, then I'll feel like I'm giving it a serious crack...

And yes I am lurking in the misty halls of eHarlequin a little bit more than I used to and finding lots of useful advice!

I thought a lot about how I was going to write after spending some time at eHarlequin, and the muck up with the comp. I want to stick to having ideas pop into my brain, write my story and then figure out which line it suits. I'm seeing a lot of posts from people trying to write a story for a line and it seems to bite them quite a bit...that's just how I read it anyway.

Anyway, must press on, I've taken a couple of weeks off and am struggling to get my mojo back...I think the kids took it....
