Writing with kids

There's a great post at QueryTracker about writing with kids. Check it out for some great suggestions to keep writing even while the kids are at home.

It's officially done! Sorry I've been MIA for awhile now, but I was working hard on getting the novel finished. I have begun the query process and will soon start the next project. Debating on doing book two or something new...

I think before I commit myself to another writing project, I'm going to really focus on my blog. I have not been consistant, and I don't really know everything blogging. So I am going to try and learn more and then make it look nice and polished. Then I'll pick a day of the week to post consistantly.

Also need to work on getting people here to actually read what I write.
I am going to provide useful links and information for writers trying to break into the industry, just like me!

So here I go...working to build a platform like all the blogs and books I read say to do. Hope it works.

Got the manuscript back from the editor ;o) and working through the edits. Posted a rough draft of my query letter on the public slush pile, have a few scenes down on paper for book two, work part time, mother of two under the age of four, wife and trying to exercise. Trying to find time for everything is like trying to ride rollerblades on ice. Is can be done, but one wrong push of the foot and you're lunch for the road.

Novel

I've gotten great feedback on my re-write. Yes it's from my father, but I'll take what I can get. Once I do the final edit I'll let some family members read it. I know they aren't the best for constructive feedback, but I'm still unsure of my writing so I'm taking it slow.
Anyone interested in writing should check out Nathan Bransford's @ blog http://blog.nathanbransford.com/ it's insperational and informative.
In the creative, fun, musing part of book two!

Novel

I've been on hiatus! But I have finished my novel. Running 116,000 word, its being currently being edited by my father. I'm going to start the query process but must admit I'm very nervous.
Oh well, its been fun & whatever happens, happens. So onto the next one right? Yay, I'm excited to get the muse juice flowing again.

Novel

Another re-write is consuming my time. No I'm not finished and I'm beginning to wonder if I ever will be. When does a writer call their work finished? Should I just close the book & push it from my mind? I think I might have to, after this absolutely necessary re-write.
I am simultaneously reading the Twilight series, good stuff! On breaking dawn, only about 75-100 pages left. Very inspirational & educational.
