GOOD NEWS BAD NEWS

Do you want to hear the good news or the bad news first?

I like to get the bad stuff out of the way so here goes...

1. My muse is asleep or took a vacation or is mad at me for some reason. I don't have writer's block. I have a plethora (always a cool word) of ideas, I just can't run with them. Dang.

2. My mystery short story, THE HAUNTED DESK, did not win the Children's Writer contest. Oh, well. At least I have something that may work into a chapter book if my stupid muse would only wake up and talk to me.

Now the good news...

PIPER PARROTS PREDICAMENT has been accepted by the e-website, Knowonder, and will be published Sunday, September 23. Check it out!

How cool is that!!!

STILL TRYING

I'm still trying...

to write...

something meaningful.

But I am finding it difficult.

The turtle story...is going well. Although it sounds like a fifth grader could write it better. I'm not having "writer's block." I'm having "writer's boring."

The adult piece is going along smoothly. Unfortunately it is oh, so, depressing. Good Lord...I need to perk it up.

Today I will be helping a fellow writer with a piece she is trying to publish. Perhaps I will get some insight or message from my sleeping muse.
