You can't get there from here...

Whenever I admit to another soul here in No-where Oklahoma that I'm writing a book I usually get the look. The one that says what a silly unrealistic goal that is. I don't know where this attitude comes from, but it seems to run wild in small town America. Maybe its because things like becoming a published author only seem to happen to people in larger cities. So from time to time I can't help but feel like the idealistic dreamer that everyone else is shaking their heads at. But regardless, I will keep on keeping on. And who knows maybe someday I'll prove them wrong. And if not, well at least I tried.

Wish me luck...

Rewards

Well, for the past month the day job has pretty much taken over. Its nothing new and always expected as the latest semester comes to a close. But this week is finals and I'm almost done giving tests. Which means my 3 weeks of down time is just around the corner. Three weeks to get the creativity back on track and some major word count accomplished. Last month was officially NaNoWir, but my month to write is December.

Wish me luck...

Hey guys one of my favorite authors is having a giveaway and chat/interview over at http://.bittenbybooks.com/?p=13113. Go check it out and leave Lili a question at the very least :D

Is anyone out there?

Since I've started taking my writing seriously I've spent a great deal of time researching it. The ins and outs of publishing, genre, and writing methods. My research has not been in vain. I've found dozens of great sites like www.deadlinedames.com that are full of helpful information. The one thing I've struggled to find is other authors in my neck of the woods that write Urban Fantasy. Maybe I'm just not looking in the right place. So to fulfill the need to interact with other writers I started a local writing group. The membership has narrowed down to 6 consistent authors from varying genres. But no surprise I'm the only one writing under SF/F. So if anyone out there reading this is living in Oklahoma and feels the same toss me a line and let me know I'm not alone.
