Where I was; Where I am

Not a year and a half ago I was well on my way to having it all. Soon I look forward to having neurologist tell me what has been wrong with me since then. During this time of battling with my body and my soul and my spirit and my life, I have been inactive. Everything I thought was sooo important has suddenly become unimportant and now I live for the day to day activities like making it to the table for dinner and helping my son with his homework. This blog is no longer about a budding author weaving through the politics and minefields of publishing. This blog now is about a person struggling to survive one day after another.

ConVocation, Pagan Unity Festival, Harriette Austin Writers Conference

I have applied for ConVocation 2008 in Michigan. I offer the link here; however, they have not yet updated the entire site for the 2008 theme. We'll see how my application is received.

I am scheduled to go to Pagan Unity Festival (PUF) and meet with an author. He has graciously agreed to look at my book proposal and sample chapters. I am going to take extra copies with me and give them out to any other authors who will agree to take them. Maybe I can get a forward for the book this way! I am also going to meet with my long time friend, Sharon who is going to experience PUF with Tony and I. I am hopeful that our friends, Leslie and Timothy will agree to lunch with us. It has been too long since we have had a chance to hang out and talk.

I will send out my book proposal by the end of May. Pray for a good publisher, with a good offer. An agent wouldn't hurt either.

I am also working on my synopsis of Southern Stories to turn in at the Harriett Austin Writers Conference in July. I hope to secure an agent while I am there and present my fiction work to some publishers. I have never done a synopsis before so this should be interesting.

Keep good thoughts and energy moving toward the manifestation of a good publisher who offers a good deal and a good agent who knows what s/he is doing!
