I write.

I've written, to publish, since 2005. I put together a website. I started a blog. I was committed to it. 

A fire burned my home to the ground in 2006.

I started over.

But it's hard to set aside the time when you work forty hours and commute an hour a day. A million issues with the loss of the house and several relationships.

Moved to town. A hundred and six more issues. Not an ideal time to work on writing. Dedicated myself to my kids and job.

Fast forward myself to now. I write full-time. The game is completely different. You don't send SASEs and receive form letters shoved back in them. Most use query tracker (I LOVE QUERY TRACKER), and it's all online. 

Need new website, blog, Twitter, Insta, TikTok, FB page, etc. It's crazy how much as changed (good or bad) and how much has evolved for the better.

Googled myself today. The first site to pop with my name is LinkedIn! My website IS in flux as my tech mistress is working on a brand new site. 

Sites in order:

LinkedIn

Amazon Author Page

Simon & Schuster Author Page

Goodreads

ThriftBooks!!!

InmanBooks

Twitter

That floors me. Truly. Need to work on raising a couple of those sites in the results. I feel my website needs to be in the top spot with Amazon and Simon & Schuster right below. 

Goals.

I'm not dead. No, really.

Hi everyone!

I've been busier than hell with my writing.  I started out in January with the five straightforward goals that I will achieve this year.  The first had to do with finishing my Women's Fiction/Contemporary Romance, "Over Her Head". 
Proud to say that's done, and I'm querying right now.  But in order to write all those lovely words, I'm using my entire weekend to write.
Second job is the forty-hour a week business with my ten-hour commute.  NOT A FAN.
Saturday and Sunday are the days I sit and write at least 3,000 words each.
Now I'm working on one of my Erotic Paranormal Romances.  Then I'll finish the third-book in my five-book series and self-publish that one on Amazon.  I love Megan.
Then back to either the OTHER Erotic Paranormal Romance or the Philosophical Fiction.
I only know that if I maintain the work ethic, as I have it now, I should be able to finish all these stories this year.
A major goal.
A doable goal.

I've found some kindred souls on Twitter.  You can find me @InmanBooks.  I'm also on Facebook at Inman Books.  I do a lot of contests on there.  Running one right now until 3/23/19 Midnight CST.

And last, but never least, I'm helping sponsor the OWFI Conference this year.

There you have it.  It's not easy, but I LOVE it. 

Hope your week is a good one!
