Found an Apartment

Well, my search for an apartment was successful. However, today I am having a bit of a panic attack about it. I'm set to go back to the apartment complex in about an hour, and then perhaps my unease will be put to rest. Just in case, I am bringing along reinforcements...my mom is driving down to go look at the apartment with me. It always helps to have a second opinion.

Now, once I get the apartment thing settled, I will start packing. However, I still believe that writing a short 10-15k romance will not be a problem. I think I have an really good idea for a contemporary that just might be the ticket. I'll bounce that idea off my critique partner later. I want to flesh it out a bit more. I have the heroine all thought out, but I need to get the hero in my mind...

hmmm....might be a good time to look at some male models' pictures to get some inspiration!

Starting Again

I have been away from writing for quite some time now. But all that is about to change. I am once again frequenting the writer's forums that I used to visit, and I have been talking to my critique partner again about writing.

Exciting things have happened in my life in the past year. I've divorced, visited London, and started school, so my life has been pretty busy. However, the emotional roller coaster is over now, and my energies do not have to be directed so much to just surviving. I have taken control.

My first order of business is to take a look at Cobblestone. It seems they accept smaller novels, so I'm going to write a 10-15k manuscript and see if I can finally get my name in print. I have an idea or two for a couple of contemporaries that I think might fit the bill. I'll probably start writing one of those tonight, or at the very least get one plotted out.

But, today...I am going to find an apartment. Wish me luck in everything! It's good to be back!
