If you follow me on Facebook or Twitter, you may have seen the the announcement that my book, Portrait of a Nuclear Family has found a home with D and T Publishing. You may not have (algorithms!). This is exciting news. I am cautiously optimistic about it all and will more than likely explode with emotion the day I hold a copy of the book in my shaking hands. Until then, I write and I read as if nothing has happened, focused on my current project.
A favorite podcast of mine, And Then Write, hosted by Stacy Walsh invited me to chat about a past post I made about Guidelines to Writing. The podcast can be found here. I’ll soon have the podcast embedded to this site as well, once I figure out how to do it without breaking everything.
Things have begun to pick up for me, which is nice, and I’ve managed to clear a few non-writing projects out of the way as well at home. Though, I’m still struggling through the reread of my young adult fantasy work-in-progress. There are some issues that need to be addressed and some new ideas that require a whole swath of new words, both exciting and annoying. I’m reading J. Michael Straczynski’s Becoming a Writer/Staying a Writer and it’s a book I wish had been written an eternity before now. It may even take the place of On Writing as my go to suggestion of books all writers MUST read.
