A New Week with Great Anticipations

 Hello, anybody out there? All the reports I get...statistical reports looks like I am being read but still no comments. I will be checking on that to see if there is a setting I need to fix further. So, glad you are here and that you've found my blog. I hope you enjoy the reading of it and will check in to see whats going on with my endeavors.

Today, here in a few moments I will talk with another publisher and hopefully get to send the manuscript to them for review and consideration. Of course there is already one in the wing of whom I will hear from tomorrow. Both self publishers. Though once not thought well of, self publishing has moved up in those opinions. There are two types of self publishers as I understand and seem to be the best way for an unknown writer to get started publishing manuscripts. 

I have a couple of friends who self publish and they keep writing and keep publishing and their books are selling. So, I'm hopeful for good reports on the manuscript.

Over this weekend I did look into books on the subject of gossip and was able to read several synopsis' and though they sound good there is a good distance between their direction and mine so I'm hoping that will make mine publishable. Though a couple of them went into the harm gossip does, as far as I can tell, none address gossip toward the Body of Christ when Jesus comes back.

So my work takes the reader through today, personally as well as the effect it has in the church as we prepare for the return of Jesus. Did I mention that I have another project in the works? Just started the outline over the weekend. Hopefully it will be larger maybe above 200K, but we'll see about that. My thinking is if the writing I've sent for approval is accepted and they like the way I say things, then I'm good to go for another book.

Got about 5 min. before the call I'm waiting for so, I'll be back after to report.

Had a great conversation. The rep from this publisher has the manuscript to read and she will report back when she has read it and give her opinion on the writing style if there is one and lots of other things she sees as she reads.. I'm excited about that. So today is the day I find out if the publisher I sent the manuscript to has decided whether or not they want to publish.  Waiting on pins and needles....Suspense LOL

Later, this is Judy in the Cottage with Milo.

Honestly Speaking

 Well hello! I have a favor to ask of you. I know, I don't have any leverage over anyone who stops in on my blog so I'm not trying to pull something here.  Really! Look, I don't claim to be old or anything!!! But, I am aware that I'm not up on all the ways and means of blogging. I haven't read up on the whys and wherefores', etiquette or anything. Honestly speaking, I just got on here, opened/signed up for a blog and here I am. I don't know what is customary and another thing, I'm trying to get my post read by more than 7 people. Well, one time it was 9. So here's my request after all that honesty. I'd love to hear from YOU, If you've gotten this far in this writing this time around. Would you please comment? I would like some encouragement in writing here. And... If you are feeling gracious and have the time and inclination leave a comment on how I might draw readers. I know, I know...I've sorta read how to do that but...I don't get

Boxes, boxes boxes-how to survive a forced move!

  That's the way it was just before the movers came in and took all my stuff away to a pod on the apartment complex property. I had packed and packed and packed some more until everything was in a milk box from the local grocery. Next came the hotel that Milo and I stayed in for a few days until the 16th of February. I had planned for a swimming pool and hot tub, even buying bathing suits but, alas it wasn't to be, so Milo and I took walks on the grounds of the hotel and visited the dog park which wasn't too very far away. And Tuesday late afternoon, finally home again with all new cabinetry and flooring and freshly painted walls. Same ole' address but new insides...and now the fun begins. Just a few boxes left to unpack and then it's all about finding/creating a place to put things. The bulk of my belongings is craft supplies and tools. My bedroom is now my craft room. Leaving a small space for the new twin bed, I've managed to create my new craft space. The ch

So She Says!

 She being me, don't ya know! It's late and I should have stopped writing an hour ago but I'm here instead....writing.  The process of writing a book is way more than I thought but, I'm gonna do it anyway. I'm gonna write until I have nothing more to say and because I didn't find out how to do this before I started, I'm kinda moving backwards in the process. I've decided to finish the manuscript first and then go back and get it in order as far as I know how to. And that will be based on the information I've found on the web. Then, I will look for an agent. If I find one who is will to look at what I have, then I'll go from there. I'm guessing I follow his direction in what I need to do to get my stuff ready for an editor to look at. Then after that I don't know. I'm sticking this out because I believe in what I have to say and I think it is timely. But that's just me. Part of me things it won't make the cut, but the optimisti
