It's been a busy three months for me. I've got a lot of personal
things accomplished and absolutely no words written on my manuscripts.
My goal was to have at least one or two of the three manuscripts
completed by the time I went to the RWA Convention in San Diego but I
have been doing everything but. Yes, yes I know that they won't be edited or ready for submission. I
just want to have them completed as I may be looking for a free lance
editor or someone to help me with the process. An agent? An editor? A
personal critique partner or friend?
Anyway I've been very busy partying with family during the past few months so here is my
Quarter in Review:
Personal & Family Accomplishments:
- March- Angie Stone Concert with hubby. Dinner at Yoshi's
- Late March - April :
Transferred to a new department at work! Made some new friends. Assumed
some new responsibilities. I'm very happy. I saw a notice posted a work
in the break room. Submitted my resume and cover letter. Interviewed a
week later and started three weeks after that. I'm VERY happy with the move.
