Now that the April A to Z Blog Challenge has ended, I'll be blogging just once or twice a week. I am very much looking forward to re-visiting and getting to know more about the bloggers I met through the challenge. So, put on some tea, I'm coming to visit!
I'm also looking forward to settlling back into my writing projects. I'm currently re-writing a children's novel that I first wrote almost 10 years ago. And, I want to start working on a new story based on my mother's experiences as a 14-year-old American girl living in England on the eve of WWII. And of course, I await news as my agent shops my book, The Christmas Village, with publishers.
In the meantime, check out my interview (below) with 3-time author, playwright and humorist, Arthur Wooten. He has experience with both traditional and self-publishing, and what he has to say is pretty interesting! His latest book, Birthday Pie, just came out, and it's flying off the shelves and through the e-book airwaves!
I'm looking forward to getting better acquainted with all my new blogger friends too.
ReplyDeleteI recently looked at a children's ms that I'd written about 8 years ago and I realised that none of the characters had mobile phones which made a big difference to the plot possibilities. It's interesting how technology has changed things over the last 8 to 10 years.
Thank you for your kind words on my blog and I'm so sorry to hear of your recent loss. It's not easy, is it.
I didn't get around to as many blogs as I intended during April, so am trying to catch up now. Glad I've found you! Now following :-)
ReplyDeleteOnly just found you through the reflections linky. Nice site, now following.

Blogging has exercised my writing muscle and now I am revisiting stuff I wrote many years ago and reworking it . . . don't hold your breath;-)
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to learning more about all of my new friends as well. I stopped by your husbands blog last night. What an amazing journey you are going to have. I really look forward to those posts.
ReplyDeleteNice to meet you all - look forward to reading you!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to things returning to 'normal' and spending more time really getting to know a few great bloggers
ReplyDeleteIts nice to have met you on the Blog Hop. Thanks for your support. I have been practicing Iyengar yoga for a couple of years. My only question is, how could you LEAVE New England?? :)
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to a normal blogging schedule, except that I have to find one first!
ReplyDeleteStill trying to get around and do some visiting though!
Happy May to you! :)
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed reading your interview with Arthur, and Birthday Pie sounds like a really good book, I'm going to check it out. Thanks for sharing!
Beautiful tea cup!! Your writing projects sound fun. I hope everything with your book & agent goes GREAT!! I need to get back to my writing, but have been putting it off. Not writer's block, just writer's laziness :)
ReplyDeleteHi Melissa!
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to let you know that I have given you the Stylish Blogger Award on my blog:

Looking forward to reading more! The tea is always on and hot...so c'mon over anytime.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy getting back to your normal routine, but I'd expect you to get a couple late bloomer followers who, like me, are still making the rounds on the A-Z master list. Glad you took part in the challenge!
ReplyDeleteWow, Melissa! I'm so impressed you have an agent! So many of us writers don't...because we either haven't tried, or can't get anyone to take us on! I love it that you're busy with writing projects. Your book, The Christmas Village, sounds just wonderful. What's it about??
ReplyDeleteLooks like you have some great writing projects lined up ... Hope you hear good news soon on The Christmas Village!
ReplyDeleteNice to meet and know you all! Look forward to reading all your beautiful and brilliant thoughts and words!
