What I'm writing ... articles for newspaper, online articles, a book with co-author, Nichole Giles, of inspirational LDS stories to cheer us all through trying times. <br /><br />And getting ready to do a book launch at Barnes and Noble in Orem on Dec 9, for our book that's just coming out, "Mormon Mishaps and Mischief." <br /><br />Whew, that's probably more than you wanted to know, huh? :0)<br /><br />PS: I like your possible title, "Sweet Sally and the Dress in the Can."

We met at the Cedar Fort Conference earlier this year ... my co-author, Nichole Giles and I sat next to you and shared thoughts and treats. :)<br /><br />I just found your blog and think it's great, so signed up as a follower.

That's good news about your submission. Publishers don't take the time to make suggestions unless they see a potential. <br /><br />Kate, I saw that you submitted on your website, which by the way is a very nice site. 800-1000 words a day is a goal I try to keep as well. Of course, a lot of the time, my words aren't worth keeping. :)Frank Colehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08201699046649528170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5969019800951832394.post-21500750922121588742009-11-11T16:08:54.669-07:002009-11-11T16:08:54.669-07:00Oh, yeah - my writing goal.

My goal is to have butt in chair and fingers on keyboard during that time. Drafting, I can usually hit 500-700 words in that time.<br /><br />Then I steal whatever time I can during the evening, which sadly isn't usually all that much.Donhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17369952902975144773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5969019800951832394.post-41503638510222161372009-11-11T10:50:38.450-07:002009-11-11T10:50:38.450-07:00I've submitted my first novel (a romance--it s...I've submitted my first novel (a romance--it surprised me, too!) to one publisher who only required the first three chapters. They also are the publisher who I hear takes the longest to respond. I should be finished polishing the entire manuscript within a week. Then I'll begin submitting to everyone else.<br /><br />I set a goal of 800-1000 words a day when I'm doing a rough draft and 10 pages a day when I'm revising. I keep a file of new story ideas that pop up so I can concentrate on my current project and not worry about losing any new ideas. <br /><br />Good luck with your new book! I'll definitely be reading it.Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13303922187736526290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5969019800951832394.post-79018757902935622442009-11-11T09:54:27.988-07:002009-11-11T09:54:27.988-07:00Hi, Frank.

We met at LDStorymakers 2008, and it's great to see the success you're having with Hashbrown Winters.<br /><br />I'm currently doing revisions on what I'm calling a romantic coming of age story. I got a nice rejection last month with detailed suggestions and an invitation to resubmit, so that's what I'm working on. <br /><br />I've edited my way through page 130, or about 40%.<br /><br />I'm also about halfway through a YA SF draft, but that's on the backburner for now.<br /><br />My blog hangout is 90kwordsofdelusion.blogspot.comDonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17369952902975144773noreply@blogger.com
