Chasing a Heart's Desire
Yet again time has slipped away from me and I find myself lax in keeping this blog up-to-date. Such is life when you're stuck working a day job at 40+ hours a week. But this isn't a place for me to vent about my unhappiness there, this is for writing! Lots and lots of delicious writing. Which is another reason why I haven't been here. So where do I start on what has been going 'round my end of the keyboard?
I may have put out only 2 stories in March, but able to shove 8 out the door in April. To be fair, 4 were old pieces that I hoped to find homes for. No such luck. 3 of them I have no word on and 1 has sold. So for April I managed to get out 21,867 words. Definitely not a shabby way to spend the month of April. One of the pieces that went out was A Rescued Heart. Finally. Only took me forever to see it done. Fingers crossed! Selling it would officially make it my longest piece. Unless of course I manage to finish The Christmas Foal and sell it first.
My sold count is at 4 for the year.
Lots of projects in the works, as per usual. In a few days I should have Love Speaks and Heart's Triumph out the door. The second is the sequel to Blackstone Manor and there might be a third. There should be... Also working on finishing up the The Christmas Foal rewrite and putting miles on my novel, When Snow Falls. There will also be a couple of short stories. There always are, though.
And in my completely crazy mind I have compiled a list of projects to get done by July 1st. Oh yes, this should be an interest time. I'm not going to get upset if things don't get done, but I do plan to work my booty off.
