WIP Update 10

WIPU

I hate to disappoint myself and, of course, any of you who may be reading this, but I do not have much to report on at the moment. I have been writing a little, but I’ve been busy elsewhere and have been working hard to keep up my daily posts. The biggest distraction I’ve recently encountered is, fortunately, something positive. I’ve been busy figuring out how to promote my book Eternal Curse: Giovanni’s Angel, now that a release date has been set and I can start selling advanced copies. You can learn about that at my Pre-Orders tab.

Next month, I sincerely hope I’ll something worthwhile to report. I have so many good stories floating about; I’d love to be able to share a little bit of them with you.

Feeling a little lost about what’s going on in this post? Just see the side panel and search My Topics, WIP Updates, to get all caught up. Also check my WIP tab to see what else I may be working on.

Do you have a WIP update to share?

****

I am so blessed right now. Even though I am constantly overwhelmed, never seem to have enough time, and am leaping from one temporary illness to the other, and also seem to fall short no matter how hard I try…I have so much to be thankful for.

1. I have been meeting and promoting some really great authors as of late. I’m to glad to have an opportunity to help these authors spread the word about their work.

2. I have an amazing family, they are all so special to me. My sister is talented in ways she doesn’t even know and inspires me to pursue my dreams. My Mom is my biggest fan and my husband is so wonderful that I just had to write about him in “Dear Stick”.

3. I am getting closer and closer to my goal of being a successful published author. Needless to say, monetary gain isn’t how I judge success, but I’ll be even more thankful if and when the big bucks ever start rolling in.

I have three ebooks available for purchase and am now able to offer pre-orders for my first novel, Eternal Curse: Giovanni’s Angel, which is set to release on February 18, 2014. See Books and Pre-orders for details.

4. I made it to the second round of voting for the 50 Great Authors You Should Be Reading, which I still find amazing, and now I must wait to see how well I did. At this point it doen’t really matter, if I make it into the publication great, yay, hip hip hooray, and if i don’t it’s still been a fun ride.

5. And lastly, I’m so grateful that I am steadily writing, blogging, and reading my way through life. I’m networking and learning from others everyday and am so glad to be apart of this community.

Be sure to stop by and visit this month’s co-hosts: Julie Flanders, Heather Gardner, Kim Van Sickler and Elsie is Writing!

WWW Wednesday

WWW Wednesday 12/4/13

www_wednesdays44WWW WEDNESDAYS… is a weekly meme hosted by Miz B of “Should Be Reading”, where you share: (1)What you’re currently reading, (2)What you recently finished reading, and (3)What you think you’ll read next.

As I am only contributing to this meme on a monthly basis, while comments and shares are welcomed here, be sure to visit Should Be Reading each week to see who’s reading what. (Click on images to be taken the books’ Goodreads.com pages.)

1. What am I currently reading?

I skipped my post last month so it’s been two months since I’ve had anything to update. It’s been a crazy two months. I somehow forgot I was reading Chasing the Avatar, but have picked it back up again and am enjoying it.

I am very close to finishing the Guardian’s Apprentice. For some reason the audio (computerized voice) kept trying to read this story to me and it was driving me crazy. I didn’t ask for an audio attachment with this book, but I guess some ebooks will read to you whether it’s a professional narration or not.

I found a copy of the Call of the Herold on my computer and can’t remember how it got there. As far as I’m concerned it’s a free book; yay!

…And I finally re-cracked open the papges of Seraphina, but now that I’m in book promo mode, who knows how long it’ll take for me to read it 😉 .

2. What did I recently finish reading?

You’d think that in two months I could have finished more books than this, but like I said, it was a crazy two months. The fact that I finished anything reading related is a minor miracle; between a full-time job, illness, blogging and writing full-time, and family issues, reading was my escape that I didn’t get to take quite as often as I would have liked.

3. What do I think I’ll read next?

I am so excited about the next installment of the Gryphon series. While I have no good reason for it, I’ve put off reading Legend for long enough. I hope it doesn’t take so long for me to get through my current reads that I forget about these.

What is your WWW Wednesday?
