The
rumors are false…I am not dead. I guess that would be considered good news :) I
have no real excuse for my blogging absence besides just plain crazy BUSY. But starting
this week I’m going to try to ease back into it.
So
to start I get to be a stop on Elizabeth Seckmans Blog tour for her new book—Healing
Summer. I asked Elizabeth about writing pitfalls and of course she gave me
a super clever answer. Take it away Elizabeth!
Hey
Angie! Here’s my list of pitfalls. There are plenty more…probably as many
pitfalls are there are form letter rejections.
Petulance. No one likes a brat, whether
they are four-years-old or forty. As a writer, you are working for the reader.
You are on this Earth to make them happy. Not the other way around.
Insecurity is to writing as a water hose
is to a flame. You have to have faith in yourself, even when no one else does.
Time. Finding it, managing it, and
never having enough of it.
False hopes. We all want a break out hit
first time out of the gate. If you think it’s the only measure of success,
you’re probably in for a let-down.
Anglais. (added some French in here to
make this work!) Failing to study the language and master its usage will lead
to failure.
Languishing. You can’t pine over a single
work. Do it till it’s done, then do another.
Lollygagging. Okay, me calling my Facebook
obsession platform building makes me guilty of lollygagging and that’s bad.
That
was awesome Elizabeth! Everybody check out her book. It sounds awesome. Also
you can vote for Elizabeth’s best post on her blog :) I missed you guys. It’s
nice to be back.

Healing Summer
Maybe
Love, Not Time, Heals All Wounds
Ditched
at the altar…biopsied for cancer…Mollie Hinkle is having a bona fide bitch of a
summer. When life sucks so hard it takes your breath away, what's a girl to do?
Pack a bag, grab a few friends, and leave the past and the worry in the rear
view mirror. What wounds can’t be healed by a drive across the Heartland, where
quarter flips at cross roads determine the route and the future? All roads lead
to Craig, the second son and bad boy of the haughty Coulter line. Has fate
brought her to the miniscule Montana town to find happily ever after or will it
just break her heart?
