One Last Taste....


A Taste Of Christmas is perfect reading for those holiday rushes. Short and sweet. I may not be a great blogger for the next few days. I fill in for a secretary when she goes on vacation and I'll be working.

So one last taste of the book that is in my very own name. It's kind of scary. I'm standing at the beginning and there's two ways to go. I can either continue to submit and hone my craft or slip into obscurity. I have the irrational feeling that "one wrong move" and I'm finished.

Yet, I know I have a lot of stories in me. I had a romantic fantasy critiqued this week. Both my critique partner Rachel Brimble and Crystal Jordan noticed improvement in my writing. Crystal's comments were so great and it made me feel like I might actually have it in me to write the stories that won't quit bugging me. Now, I just have to clean it up and submit it.

And that's my point. I have to keep on writing and submitting. That's the process. The more I write and submit, the better my writing will become. I have to say that even the rejections I've recieved were immensely helpful. Submitting to Harlequin introduced me to Rachel and Jenna Bayley-Burke. Jenna introduced me to Romance Divas. Without the process, no career.

How's that process going for you right now?
