Cold Days

It's seriously freezing out there, with record low temps for the day's highs, and even lower at night.  I moved from the high mountains to get away from this stuff and what happens?  Lol I think the snow gods followed me here out of some perverse sense of humor on Their part.  Oh well, it's a good time to write.  I've done a rough draft column; now I'm in the process of getting permission from other writers to use their work in my references.  In the meantime it's rewrite, rewrite.
In other good news, Pagan Writers Press has come up for air and has expressed continued interest in my book!  This is a very good thing and I am busy getting final researched bits into the ms.  I have a feeling I don't know when to quit *rolls eyes*.  I'm eager to get it submitted to see if it will fly!

Redux (again)

Well, I am back, after a long hiatus.  I was fortunate this Spring in that an article I had submitted to Circle magazine for their Imbolc issue was accepted and published albeit under my rl name.  I have two other articles out, and have been accepted as columnist for a new Pagan magazine called Wildstar Forest.  Huzzah!  I am truly thrilled over that one!  It's an actual paying gig.  I will be writing about tips and advice on working with spirits, entities, ghosts, etc.  I've just wrapped up research for my first column.  Now it's off to get the writing done. :D

Catching up (again)

I have not been on here for a while so I figured I'd better show up.

After coping with writer's block for over a month I have been hard at it getting caught up with my book research.  At this point I have well over 100 pages (you read that right) of notes, plus oodles of pubdom images to use.  Lots of raw material, but at least I'm working again.  Plus, two or three articles to write!

In the meantime I am job hunting and having a tough time of it, like a lot of people.  Things are looking up a bit, so I have my toes crossed while I write.  I should know more either later today or by Monday.

Update

I did manage to get the photos for my ebook reformatted so they are ready to put into the ms once that is reformated as well.  I expect to have it done and uploaded Sunday afternoon.  I also have begun a rough draft on my Tarot card article for PWC.  I feel productive again.  Yay!

News

I got an email back from Weiser; they declined my query, stating it did not meet their publishing needs at this time.  The good news is, it leaves the door open for other work.

Turtle Days

Wow, not a good week for writing. I did get a short article turned in to PWC, and posted a couple of excerpts on my website, but that's all, at least for now. My new job wears me out more than I expected. Looks like I have to bite the bullet and get a few pages done after dinner on a regular basis in order to get going again. Writing when I'm half-asleep seems pointless but at least I have something on the page and can always revise. (I love revision. really.)

Back Again

After a solid week of prepping materials for my very first Reiki student, I am back on track with writing. I will be turning in an article this weekend and getting even more done on the book. And, I think I will collect my published articles plus other essays I've written to see if I can get the collection published. That would be a nice prelude to this other work. Busy, busy! I like it.
