Today my ADD is showing
I've started this blog three times now.
First blog you're not going to get was on a successful writer's on line group I'm on. Hi lalalas!
The second blog was going to be talking about the upcoming GH announcements and the secret life of contests. Then the contest police showed up at my door and confiscated my hard drive.
Now I'm writing on my husband's computer (just kidding, honey) and looking around my office at the mess I call my desk. I'm leaving in a couple hours to drive to my nephew's wedding in York, NE.
So I thought I'd talk about some good things (writer things) that have happened to me in the last two weeks.
First, I got a long awaited check. (Insert happy dance here.) Now just two more to go.
Then I found out my YA novel is going on to the second round of Amazon's Breakout Novel contest.
I received my contributor's copies of a magazine and my story is a cover story. (April True Confessions - I Broke My Unborn Babies Heart - Wishing for a Girl was My Biggest Mistake.)
And I signed a contract to publish The Bull Rider's Brother with Crimson Publishing. Available at all fine e-pub sites coming June 2012. (I really hope I get to keep my title...)
When I read the email I asked my co-worker if I was dreaming. He offered to pinch me. :) This is my first go round at selling a full length manuscript so I'm excited to work with my editor (love saying that) and doing all the other steps in putting out a quality product.
So - it's been a good couple weeks. Busy. I've been fighting the plague. But good, none the less.
It's your turn. What's been happening in your world? Or give me your best wedding story. I think that's going to be my next post.
I'll be responding as soon as I reach the hotel in Nebraska.

First off, major CONGRATS on selling! I hope you get to keep that title. It so rocks, and I wanna know more. When does it come out? That's me in line to buy.
Now, about that Lalala story...come on. Spill!
Although I had the honor of doing the happy dance with you over the phone when you heard the news, I'm still happy dancing (insert the image of a chick in red footie pajamas dancing around right here) for you.
Congratulations, Lynn. Crimson Publishing is one very smart company! :)
Congrats on getting your book published--and all the other awesome stuff you've got going. You've earned it! I'll be curious to hear your publishing insights and experiences.
For the past month, I've been helping to edit and shoot a regional travel guide. Fun project, but I'm glad it's nearly finished.
My best wedding story: "I do," she said.
Lynn, I'm so happy for you on your sale! It's the first of many, I know. IOU one Celebration Drink :0
Can't wait until it's 'out.'
