The funny thing about life is that it truly is unpublished. As an aspiring, unpublished writer I think of my life as a book--a story unpublished--sometimes worth reading, while other chapters I would rather only skim. Here is a place for other lives unpublished to join me in the adventure of reading day by day--page by page.
Writing takes a toll. I've lately been fortunate enough to be introduced (electronically) to two Karens of the published author world: Karen Akins (in the process of being published author of Loop) and Karen Amanda Hooper (author of Grasping at Eternity and Tangled Tides). Both are amazing women that I feel blessed to have gotten a nod from in this perilous world of writing. I want to publicly thank them here for their kindness and assistance in making MONSTROSITY that much better (one of them doing so by just reading a page). If you've got the time...check out their books! (Ms. Akins when it comes out in 2013).
I'm also considering changing my name to Karen.
Jokes.
But the purpose for this blog is the Happy Dance. It's time to happy dance, because I have finished writing a book. I've done it before, but have you ever told a woman who had a baby that her baby isn't all that special because she already has two other kids? No. She feels just as awesome when it comes to the new baby as she did with the first.
So there it is, another child ready for the world.
I love my job.
Now it is time to query...well...query later; happy dance now. Dance with me! A.D. CHICKEN DANCE!
