Hello--Again

Friends and family, writers and readers,

Writing----Today I submitted three manuscripts to different publishers. Each time I submit, I am soooooo hopeful. Full of hope. Never do I feel hopeless. Then, three months later (or three years) I get a rejection. Then, I'm sad. But, alas and alack, I can now work to make it better. I will persevere.

 I'm excited tonight because we're planning a trip to Hawaii. My husband, our daughter, and three grandchildren are going. It will be fun.

An article I read today said that writers should put their e-mails on their blog, website or twitter so publishers or agents can contact them.

My email address is: DrMad92@verizon.net. There you have it. 

Have a great weekend. I wish you success in your endeavors, whatever they may be.

A conversation with uthor Suzy Toronto

Good afternoon my Blog Reading Friends,

I hope you, my friends, are reading my blog.
I will write more frequently. Why? Because I just had a great coversation with author, @Suzy Toronto. She reminded me that I don't have to write a full article with educational information for every blog. Her enthusiasm spurred me on.

I have taken (off and on) watercolor classes for 4 years now. I really enjoy this. It's so calming, therapeutic and fun. This month I'm trying to paint a teenage girl. She is beautiful. I hope the painting will be. So far, it looks like a human and not a booger. That's good.

Here's hoping I get feedback from some of my blog readers.

Have a happppppy week!!
