What I'm reading: Ashes to Ashes by Tami Hoag; contest entries
What I'm writing: Chapter 16
With everything done on "my end", the reality of relative helplessness sets in. According to my delivery confirmations, Rescued Hearts reached the editor on Wednesday. I sent polite follow-up emails to two agents who have had requested submissions for months. "Romancing the Geek" has been received and is sitting in the editor's inbox, waiting its turn. I guess the 'control freak' in me hasn't gone away.
I'm learning about the promotional end of e-books by participating in 'author' or 'publisher' days at several on-line groups. Not quite as chaotic as live chats, but time consuming nevertheless. And until Sarah is released, there's no effective way to judge the return on the effort.
Time to re-read what I wrote last night and get back to work.
Welcome to Terry's Place. I'm an author of mystery and romance, happy to share what I'm learning, both about writing and anything I find interesting.

The waiting is the hardest part, I've found. You're moving right along with your writing. Wow, Chapter 16!!
Well, I got caught up in Miss Snark's Crapometer last night and didn't write enough new stuff.
I've never been good at waiting. Patience was cultivated for dealing with my kids, and now that they're gone, it's gone too.
What do you mean you needed patience for your kids? We were perfect angels!! ;)
Oh, yeah, I forgot. Perfect angels. So who named you the evil twin?

A picture or avatar NOT in an attachment. Please don't send a link to it. I will not have time to go look up everyone's pic. If you don't have one, that's okay.
I've spammed just about everyone (forgive me!) because not everyone's e-mail address is available to me. If you know writers who would like to be part of this project, please pass the word, but let's try to surprise her with it. Thank you for your indulgence. I really am sorry about the spam, but I didn't want to leave you out if you wanted to be in!

p.s. I won’t have time to personally thank everyone who participates, but I DO THANK YOU!
