While I wait on my first picture book "Bad Dragonflies" to come out in the spring of '09, I'm keeping busy with a lot of other writing projects and other things. Haha.
Yeah! To my surprise, today has been pleasently mild for December 19th so I decided to get a few things done that I had been putting off. I had a lot of errands to run but wouldn't you know it--as soon as I was ready to go out the door--rain poured down like it was coming out of a shower head! Oh well, sometimes life has a sneaky way of playing its dirty tricks. Gotta love it.
After two hours in town I finally got back home and made me and my husband a quick sandwich. I find it harder and harder to cook meals lately, with all everything else I have to do during the day. I find myself staying on the computor more and more writing and writing and writing, when, I'm not reading that is.
What have I managed to finish? I have two picture books finished and subbed, my mid-grade novel has been critted and I'm revising it slowly because I'm having to add A LOT of details to take it where its going, and I've been revising another longer mid-grade that is very near completion. As far as poetry goes; I've written three new poems and sent two of them to the Writers Digest Poetry Contest, and the smallest of them a Haiku is yet to be critted by my crit partners. Okay, I'm off now to start dinner and grab a drink before more revising later tonight.
Cheers,
BTW, be sure to check back often for more free stories to read and other updates.

How exciting that your book is coming out soon! It surely will be a happy spring for you.
MG novels always take me months and months to revise. I'm not sure why. I guess I think I need to have every word perfect.
Good luck on all of your WIP's.
