Where Have I Been? February 17, 2008
Sheesh - I’ve been absent for ages! What has kept me away? Hmmm….let’s see….
Knitting: I’ve learned to knit in the round and am now in the process of making my 3rd stocking hat. A whole new world has opened up to me! Yay!
Reading: A bit of retro Nora Roberts, the new Sarah Mayberry (Burning Up), Persuasion by Jane Austen, and No Apologies by my fellow ARWA member Tracy Wolff.
Listening: I was having a blast-from-the-past moment and downloaded DC Talk’s greatest hits album to my iPod. It’s fun to be able to sing along with songs I haven’t heard in ages. I also downloaded an audiobook to my iPod and listened to that on some recent business travels.
Traveling: I’ve made several trips to Austin to meet with clients and teach an Eloqua 101 class. Next week I’m headed to Madison, WI and the week after that I’ll be in Cincinnati, OH. Brrrrr.
Writing: I’ve submitted my first manuscript to two new agents. One has already rejected my query (drat!) and I’m waiting to hear back from the other one. Unfortunately, I haven’t worked very steadily on my current manuscript. However, I just started a daily writing challenge with my fellow Austin RWA chaptermates and am getting on the bandwagon again. My goal is to be finished with my second manuscript by my birthday at the end of April. I think my problem is that I’m in revisions and that’s not nearly as fun as fresh writing.
