Ok. So I kind of got distracted. But I think you'll forgive me when you find out
I SIGNED MY FIRST BOOK CONTRACT!!!!!!
The news is out! Late in January I met with my editor, signed the contract, and received my official deadlines. Isn't that great? I have a deadline! The book has been written, it's in the polishing stage right now.
What's it called? Still doesn't have an official title. Yet.
What's it about? Clara Landers wants a bicycle but, in Huntsville, AL 1892, two things stand in her way: bicycles cost a lot of money and it's not considered 'ladylike'. (in a nutshell)
When can you buy it? Not until January 2012.
Other distractions:
I went on a week long writing retreat with three awesome ladies. We are the "Beach Babes" and we are awesome! Talk about a productive week!

I've been part of the writing community at writers-bbs for a very long time. We're talking at least since the mid to late 90's. The posters have come and gone and so have the moderators. Well, I find myself the new moderator of the Writing for Children and Young Adult forum. Me! And it is an honor. Come find me. I use the name wandering1
Besides all that, I'm waiting impatiently for the sun to shine again and the air to warm up.
My southern view on life, writing, and whatever.
