Countdown to Conference

I apologize for not posting in a while. I haven't been accomplishing much on the writing front the last month as I've been dealing with trying to buy a house, living in a hotel, having a visit from my stepsons, moving and dealing with morning sickness. Now with a personal deadline approaching I'm determined (no matter how sick this baby makes me) to meet our goal. Sometimes life does get in the way, and I've learned that you've got to forgive yourself, focus on life for a moment, then get back on track with things. Goals and a friend/co-author to keep you line definitely help to get back on the writing band wagon. Also what helps is realizing that I found another fellow writer just four doors down who will be attending the same conference. I'm not sure writers would survive the struggle of getting out a book without the helping hands of angels (other people in the same fight) that pop up in the least expected places.

So now that I'm moved in to my new place and my stepsons have gone back home I'm starting back on track tomorrow with my friend Stephanie as we begin the hectic task of completing draft nine of The Nedaran Prophecy in time for the League of Utah Writer's Conference scheduled for September 18-19. So wish us luck as we barrel into the editing process. I'm so looking forward to the changes that we've planned, even though some our drastic (we're re-writing the entire climax and I'm stoked about it). Keep up your efforts as well and if you ever need to vent about your writing frustrations or the publishing process please feel free to vent to me. I'll understand. Good Luck and keep on writing!
