Tales from the Lonesome Blogger
Once again, this month is just a check-in and update post, so you know I didn't fall in a hole someplace. I won't be visiting you, and let me tell you . . . I'm getting lonesome!
Book Two is with my critique partner, and I'm working on Book Three. Feels really good to finally write those words. I'm hopeful that this book will come together relatively quickly, as books go, since it's the ending of the story.
Any positive vibes you care to send my way for this fast finish actually happening will be most appreciated.
My Letter to the Editor is done, and I'm in the process of sending sample pages to a few. Fingers crossed!
All in all, February was quite productive, especially when you also include real life. A lot of action there, which I'm not ready to talk about just yet. But all good.
Thanks to all of you for hanging with me during this halfway blogging time.
I'm taking April off. Just from blogging - not writing or anything else - because y'all will be all wrapped up in A-Z. If you're participating in the A-Z Challenge, have fun! It's hard work but rewarding and beneficial. If you haven't done it before, give it a try. You'll be glad you did.
I'll be back here on Monday, May 2. With a Real Blog - and I'll be visiting yours in May, too.
Hugs!

So now I'm writing Book 3. Real life hasn't slowed down. I decided to keep blogging with updates until May so I have a jump start. In May, I'll go back to a regular once a month blog. It's not the blogging that takes time but participating in the whole blogging process of visits and a comment more relevant than 'great topic' or something similar.
I don't think I will ever return to weekly or even bi-monthly blogging. It doesn't leave me enough writing time. Once a month works.
The downside is I miss everyone like crazy. I want to know what all of you are doing and all the other stuff that comes with frequent blogging. But I don't see a way I can be a good blogger and good fiction writer at the same time. Lots of people can, and I bow to their speed and time management techniques. I've just learned what works for me right now.
And I am looking forward to seeing more of you in May.
Beer - I knew you guys understood. Won't be too much longer before I'm back.
Love,
Janie
Janie - So true. Thanks for visiting!
Mason - R-e-l-a-x. Just added it to my to do list :)
Jan - I'm working hard to get back as soon as I can.
Loni - Thanks. I am, but I sure would like to move faster :)
I'm delighted you checked-in. I'm checking-in to send you positive vibes. You have been busy and productive. Well done.
I will not be wrapped up in that weird obsession with the alphabet! :) No surprise, there, eh.
You take good care and see you in May, my kind friend.
Gary :)
Have fun writing & doing the real life gig!
Jemi - I love thunder snow! We've had our air conditioner on several times already. It's cool this morning after a week of rain, but it will be 85 tomorrow. I feel those good vibes already! Thank you :)
Misha - May will be here before you know it.
Lynda - Thanks! I am :)
So proud of you and your discipline for writing and getting things accomplished. Me...I could use a Time and Organization Manager!
See you later, gator!
Congrats on finishing book 2 and starting the final book! YAY, you! It really admire your tenacity in getting this done.
I used to have that edge, but other things in my life had to take precedence over writing at this time. But hopefully in May I will be in my new place in FLORIDA writing about Chicago. LOL Still have an unfinished Film noir novella that takes place in Chicago and Miami ... in the 1940's... I just love irony. lol
