Well, it was a year ago today that I left my full-time magazine editor job to do freelance work and have more time to devote to my own writing. Alas, still no book sale, but there are things in the works. And today was a good writing day. I wrote an entire chapter, 16 pages, to push me past the 100 page mark on the newest women’s fiction novel. Yippie!
My friend Michelle has been collecting quotes for some time and sent me her file of favorites. I’ll be sharing some of these in the days ahead. Since I’m striving to become a published romance novelist, I think it’s appropriate to start off with a quote from the genre’s biggest star:
“Being a writer doesn’t make you neurotic. Neurotic people become writers.”
- Nora Roberts

Congratulations, oh verbose one, on your one-year aniversary as a solo artist/writer. We just know that good things are in the works for you and that you will get published really soon. Keep at it. (Look at how long it took J.K. Rowling to get published, and now she’s the richest woman in England!)

Sorry for the typo — should be anniversary!

Well, I don’t expect to be JK Rowling, but thanks!
