Stressful few weeks

The last few weeks have been kind of stressful for me. First the weather went from semi-nice weather to Oh May Goodiness it's cold. The kids were off school the 15th (Friday) and the 18th(Monday) it snowed here last Tuesday night (1/19/16) so the kids were off Wednesday (1/20/16). I ended up going to the urgent care Thursday (1/21/16) and have been on antibiotics since. So there was not much writing done until this past Saturday (1/23/16). I didn't write yesterday because I was too tired from writing the night before.

I did get rejection letters from 4 out of the 6 agents I queried a few weeks ago. It's kind of discourging that none of the agents I have queried over that last several years has not even requested a full or partial manuscript, but I am not giving up. Today so far no writing was done, I have been dealing with personal issues, but I think I can get through them soon.

Yes sometimes personal stuff can throw your writing for a loop but as long as you try to write everyday you are doing good. Yes rejections are discouraging even if the agent encourages you to keep looking(most of the cookie cutter and personally written rejections I got does say something like "good luck on your search for an agent" so a least they have something nice to say)
Yes I get stuck or turned around in my writing, but I keep going I just have to back track sometimes to fix the issue.

What helps me with a lot that gets in my way when it comes to my writing is, talking to friends and/or family, I write in a journal on my really bad days. Heck some days I play a video game called World of Warcraft, it helps with stress sometimes.

Well I am off to go write
Happy reading
Happy writing

April so far

      April so far is going well; I have been getting some writing done. I also have been trying to do more to promote my books. I have also done one event so far this month (April 13th), I have another one this coming weekend (April 21st). I sold seven books at this last event two sets of all three books that are currently out, and one of the first book (New Life By The Full Moon).      I have been working on book four of the Ann Smith series which I believe is the last book of the series. I have also been working on rewriting my vampire book Nirvash, a vampire's tale. along with that book I am writing a companion book about Lovebug, the vampire kitten's life.       I have been doing the normal promoting stuff, like scheduling posts on my social medias. I have also started a reading group but it's not going well so far. But I am hopeful it will get better. I am looking into getting some other kinds of swag to possible help get the ...

This month is hard.

    I am having a rough month, the only event I had this month was on the 3rd. it did not go as planned, it was a slow event. No one really showed up to it, I did sell 2 books that day. I have been trying to write more, but it isn't going as well as I would like but I am getting words on paper so to speak. I am also dealing with some health issues; I will be OK I just need to get through this.         But I am still moving forward with my writing, scheduling events I am taking part of and promoting my books, events. I know this is not the most thrilling information, but this is my life. I write this blog to let people who want to do anything creative as more than a hobby that sometime life can effect what you are doing more than you could ever think possible. But I do not give up on my dreams. life can be a pain some time, but it doesn't mean you stop. I will get back to writing happy reading happy writing

May

  So far May is going well, my first event this month was on the 4th, it went well I sold 11 books and got to talk to interesting people. my next event is on May18th, it is taking place in Maryville IL. I am doing this event for the first time; I am hoping it is a good event for me.     I have been working on redoing my vampire book which was pulled from print years ago the title is still Nirvash, A Vampire's Tale. I finished up doing the self-edit and adding some details all on paper. I need transcribe it to the document on my laptop. I am going to try and get it out by the end of the year so i can possibly get Lovebug's life story out the following year.   I don't have a whole lot more to say at this time. I hope you all have a great day happy reading  happy writing
