Internals

Woo Hoo tomorrow I have Jessica Barksdale Inclan in the interrogation room tomorrow, she has been writing going on 10 years now and I am really glad I was able to bring her here.
Liz Fichera also won my last giveaway, I shall be sending her a bag of European chocolate and maybe a sachet of sea salt as an inside joke :)
I am still waiting for feedback on the partial I sent in to my editor, I sent it in Sept. 28th and I have used up every bit of my patience, so I might start checking my email incessantly, anybody out there have any "serenity now"(Seinfeld) tips?

Anybody interested in writing for greeting card companies? I met a fellow blogger who does this as her day time job if you are interested check Lisa out here , she was very helpful and answered all my questions.

I try not to post more than once a day because I know how pressed for time we often are so I shall start a new tab somewhere on this blog to let you know about giveaways or blogfests I enter or hear about. I won an Olivia gates book and she also did a Q&A session all weekend at Clarissa Yip's website and now I feel bad that I did not bring that to your attention. So check back on the tabs or follow me on twitter or facebook I shall follow back, don't make me get lucky all by myself.

For those interested in writing for Harlequin I hope you have all heard about the fabulous opportunity they have going on for aspiring writers, if you send in your synopsis and first chapter by dec 15th you will get some form of feedback by january 31st I think.

So have a great Poppy Day and remember those whom we have lost.

My Loot and your Loot

The Husband gets home tonight, its been 5 weeks and am at the point of shooting his boss with a bebe gun(those are not harmful right? i hope i even spelt it right).
On another Squee note I got all my contest wins in one day so Thank you Talli, Michele and Madeleine, let me share a random line from one of the books

"What if I get frostbite?"
"I don't bite, Jal. Unless you want me to"       fans self copiously

I shall take pictures as soon as I charge my camera, So today is the last day for you to comment on my not 100 or 150 followers giveaway, just tell me what genre you like to read and you are automatically entered. If you also tweet, blog or facebook abt this giveaway please let me know (there is a special bench reserved for you in the goodies corner).

Now get this, there is another giveaway tomorrow, hosted by some amazing bloggers(whom I just found) and I and next week the author in the interrogation room is coming with 5 books to give away and she has been writing for 10 years.

I think someone should start daring me on the Authors I bring to the Interrogation, maybe Stephen King will be next (the Sarcastic Joanna laughs at the optimistic Joanna)

Not doing my blogging rounds is not really working out for me so as soon as I get some Lunch I shall be hounding your blogs again, you guys inspire me to write.

Have a lovely day 



Enjoy the scenery of my reality as a stay at home mom,  I promise I left him for just 1minute

For the first time ever

For the 1st time ever I am glad I am an unpublished writer with nary an accolade to my name. This makes it perfect for me to submit my work for the new voices contest. Their site went live today and I am super psyched to start this thing already take this from the girl who once went to Richmond just to stare at the M&B office.
Apart from getting published, you also get to be mentored by editors and writers if you advance in the competition (lets not forget the hamper filled with books - mental carbs are so good for you) and 4 u techie junkies out there a new IPad oooohhhh!!!!!!!!
Am I doing too many things at once? yes, yes I am
Is this going to affect the quality of my work? No way Jose sleep can wait till I ...ahem win (am sincerely wishing all of u the best, did I mention that I like to daydream?)
Today is the last day for the blog bbq and happy labor day everyone
