It's a drastic title, but I find it to be slightly true. I could definitely use a good drink but ALAS I am a breastfeeding mom. FYI pump and dump isn't really a thing from my understanding. Your body naturally cycles the alcohol out of the breast milk, but I digress. Lately, I have been writing little by little every day, but my life is down right hectic. The baby needs attention. The two dogs need attention. My husband is gone doing military things. It is a busy, busy life right now. :)
So with that said, here is my resolutions!
1) I resolve to blog at least once a week.
I know that seems like FOREVER in the high paced world of the internet but it is doable and I can afford that time.
2) I will finish writing the second book before my trip back to where my heart lies. That said city is New Orleans.
What's the scuttle butt? Since my tiny absence from blogging my merely inconsequential life as I struggle to be a writer, this is what has happened:
1) Sent Queries to 2 agents about 2 weeks ago. Have I heard back from them yet? No. Do I fully intend to follow up with them? Yes. Do I expect them to be interested in signing me? All signs point to no. I expect this. I fully expect to have to tweak my Query and send it to another 30 agents and get rejected. That's ok. They get millions of queries a year. This leads to number 2.
2) I have been writing and I mean WRITING! I love Totem and all the characters in my lovely book. I love them so much that I have the 4 books in the series completely laid out with an added character Novella full of mini back stories about my lovely supporting characters. I just need to finish writing them. I believe in Totem. I believe in myself and my ability to tell a good story. At least that is what I keep telling myself when I look in the mirror. :)
3) I can run 2 miles again!!! My last blog was about pregnancy and what I experienced. Well, the sciatic nerve pain is nothing more than a dull tension in my left leg now. So I can run 2 miles. It isn't the 1/2 marathon I did 6 weeks pregnant, but it's a start!
4) Booked everything for New Orleans!! My beautiful friend is getting married and I am a bridesmaid! So fully be ready for some countdowns of New Orleans type things when I get back!
So what now?
You will have to see where I go. I might even drop a few chapters on my next blog. :) Who knows, maybe even the first chapter to TOTEM (will she dare? gasp!)
Either way, resolutions are in place and I am on it!
Lots of Love,
EM
