Busy, Busy, Busy
Well, I’ve been making an outline of my writing goals since I got back from Oz. I’ve got lots I’d like to do in a short amount of time.
My adult fiction book, MADE FOR WALKING, is coming along, although I fixed a major character hole and now am going to have to redo quite a bit of work from the beginning. I’ll save that for the second draft, though. First draft is slated to be done at the end of September.

My young adult book, GEMMA UP-OVER, has started off strong and I hope to finish a first draft by the end of August. I’ve got a query letter started and am really excited about how the story is shaping up.

On another front, I’ve been asked to teach a writing workshop in Lexington. I don’t get paid, of course, and I have to take a 1/2 day on my very first day of work, but I’m thrilled to do it. I’ll be teaching a writing workshop to foster kids!
I’m reworking my writing website so it’s going to be down for awhile, but I’m hoping to make it much better/cooler/more hip so it’s worth the wait. I’ve finished the basic workings on a website I designed for some friends: Bath County Farmers Market runs every Saturday from 8:00-12:00. It’s a wonderful little farmers market and I was proud to make them a website.
I have one more website in the works for some family friends. I’m hoping to incorporate some new programming that I’m learning right now from a Really Thick Book of how-to. It would be great if I could really get into this and make it kind of a side-venture. But, it sure is addicting and time-wasting!
Anyway, just a little ramble.
