2013 Reading Challenge



I've taken the Goodreads 2013 Reading Challenge, pledging to read at least 52 books in 2013.

So I've added a list for 2013's books, but decided to leave my previous list of books read. (At least until I transcribe the list to some other list for safekeeping. )

No Witty Title


Just counting the hours until the weekend. My chapter is having its annual retreat this weekend even though I won't be attending. Unfortunately, money just didn't allow for it. But I'm still planning on retreating from the family and spending the weekend writing/revising/brainstorming. Cross your fingers that I'm as productive as I can possibly be.

I have a list of things I want to work on and accomplish, so I have somewhat of a plan.

I'm still waiting to hear from Entangled Publishing to whom I submitted my first manuscript. The website says it takes approximately six weeks to get a response. Well, six weeks came and went, and I still waited. After another three weeks, I decided to touch base with the editor. She said she'd passed my manuscript on to another editor who was juggling fewer books, so I'm still waiting for notification, one way or the other.

Well, it's time to get to work...

Have a great day and I'll be here Friday!

The fact that she passed it on rather than rejected it sounds like a very good thing!

Fingers crossed that no news is good news!

Good luck with the writing. I'm reading the love scene tomorrow to my CPs. I'm certain this is the right place for it in the novella, with what is yet to come, just not confident that I've made a strong case for the protagonist's motives, his decision to 'make his move'. Sigh. Will be anxious for their input.

Got my fingers crossed for you!
