Been awhile.

Hello all! Boy, I miss the positivity of this group! I've just caught up on a couple pages of everyone's news. Kudos to you all.
I've been hibernating this winter and going through the motions as I typically do, but I also have found time to write, submit my first ever short story to a literary publication for a contest and FINALLY, my 4th book is coming out. April will make one year since I lost my mom, and I'm proud to say this book will be on the shelves before that. I know she'd be proud.
Just thought I'd share that bit of news! All the best to everyone.

Finish the second book in my two-book series! I'm also considering a new publishing option for all of my books. Also trying to keep up on Medium articles and reading other indies! :)
Happy Summer!

LOL!! Still, a great accomplishment to get our words read around the world. Congrats.

Yay!! Thank you, Carole! Looks awesome!! RL - her last name is missing the 'k'?

Thanks to Brit too!! ;)

Okay, I'll email you!! :) Thanks!

Carole, if we wanted to do physical books, how many are we talking that we'd be required provide?

This seems like an exciting promotion and I'd love to be included if the cost is feasible for me.

Thanks!

A personal one today.

Going off to find some reads on Medium before I write today.
Happy holiday weekend to those celebrating!

Thanks everyone!! :) It was a nice surprise to return home to.

Thanks Alex!! :)

Hello all...I've never posted something in this thread. I've had to have Carole report that my mother recently died, and I've come by in other threads looking for help or chat about Medium...but good news?! A first!

The 'something good' that happened? My two review services results for my first ever novel "Balance" came back today (by coincidence, they arrived on the same day!)...

From Clarion/Foreword: Four Stars and overall a pretty glowing review.
From Readers' Favorite: Five Star glowing review and the RF "5 Star" Seal to throw on my books digitally or in print.

I guess that's a pretty good day back to work after 5 days in rural Maine for my niece's wedding where I had NO cell service. It was a good break but I missed my connection to my writer friends.

Happy Tuesday!

It was a lot of fun! I think interaction will grow as the audience does. Thanks for inviting me. :)

Working on my graphics and some GIVEAWAYS for this!!

Woo hoo!!

Hope to see y'all there today.

Good for you! I still have to sign up for that part of Medium.

Congrats, Alex and Carole!!

You guys rock. Really. Thanks Angel for your efforts and asking these fun questions!
Erica's article on Medium hit the point home about this community of amazing people.
The only problem? I want to do MORE. More reading, more writing, more supporting fellow indies. And the hours are short!
Closing out this Sunday with a happy heart.

Yes, those are all awesome highs, too!! Write about it, maybe? ;)
Thanks for your comments, just love hearing from all of you.
I'm off to read some articles you've all been posting!

Thank you, Carole! :)

TGIF, and Happy St. Patty's Day all!

I just posted an article on Medium!

This is a revamp from a blog post one year ago. It was fun to go back and revisit this mindset!
Carole, I had to give you a shout out. Because, well everyone knows. You rock.

The draft of my fourth novel is my hands, and it's just as exciting as the first time.
Swoon.

Thx for any reads or claps you can afford. :)
Best,
M
