I enjoy the stories from my fellow bloggers about their writing experiences. Because I write, I find it interesting reading about the process. I find it interesting hearing about all the titles and successes that they’ve had in their checkered careers. I don’t know how the average reader feels about writing on writing, but I’m about to delve into that pile.

My March, 2009 manuscript, Bahama Burnout, just got accepted Monday. With high praises I might add. I had one day of minor adjustments and they bought it. I just got my September 2008 manuscript (Stuff Dreams Are Made Of) back in format, and with minor adjustments, that will be out in March,2008 in the advance reader copy. ( In paperback form, that goes to reviewers and book stores in hopes they will review it kindly and order it.) And I’m still promoting Stuff To Die For, the Sept. 2007 release, which just got a glowing review in the Linoln, Nebraska Star Journal on Sunday.
The marketing campaign for a the actual March 2008 release, St. Bart Breakdown, is in full swing and we’re starting to get reviews and line up signings. I’ve seen St. Bart Breakdown and it’s a good looking package. ( a pretty exciting read, too.)
Confused? So am I. I did a signing over the weekend, and during the presentation I started talking about a book that won’t even be out until Spring of 2009.
I love writing, and as long as a publisher is willing to buy a story, as long as a reader is willing to read a story, as long as we’re selling print and audio books and the libraries are ordering multiple copies as far away as Calgory, Canada, I’ll keep writing.
And the problem, just like Judy, Casey, Jeff and C.R., is that we’ve all got more ideas than time to write. People have two questions for writers. Where do you get your ideas, and where do you find the time. The answers are as follows.

Everywhere, and there is never enough.

And did I tell you? Oceanview accepted Bahama Burnout yesterday!!!!!!! The career continues.
