be a published author

Hey, if anyone out there has some tips on how you narrow down what you want to write about, I’d love to hear from you.

I’ve got so much material rambling round in my head; mainly life experiences, that I just don’t know where to start.

I’ve tried just sitting and typing whatever comes to mind at the time and have on a couple of occasions streamed a theme but then I seem to go off on a tangent that doesn’t fit in?

Where do I start? Where do I stop?

I can write clear, concise essays and nonfiction including marketing materials. When it comes to fiction I become lazy. When I tell my “life stories” people say “You should write a book.” They’re so crazy even I don’t believe it happened to me.

Friends say I write good and have potential, yet I feel that all I can do is write to them! It’s pretty easy to write to people who care about what you have to say!

I have all the author books, I just don’t know if I want to go through the trouble of writing a book that will never see the light of day!

If I write it, they will read….

I would love to write a book every month for the next thirty years and have them all published.

I still dream of writing a few novels one day, but for now I have a paying gig writing monthly articles on various parent-oriented topics for a LOCAL magazine.

You can find out more about my baby on Google or Authorhouse ... tell a friend and enjoy it yourself ;)

I viewed the latest galley from Authorhouse… I believe we finally have it right! They’ll be sending it to the printer now, then I’ll get a copy to preview ;)

I sent in my galley corrections ;)

I received a copy of what my business card, postcard and bookmark will look like (if I approve of them). I think the background color should be changed, I’m also wondering why the picture is sideways on the business and post card, but that’ll all be worked out. The wording for each is great though ;)

I also received an electronic copy of the galley, I see where 2 corrections need to be made. I’ll double check before signing off on it this time! Doing things prematurely is costly~

So I should have another galley to view soon~
