Many of you know I claim to be a writer. That I, in fact, do have a book out in the world. So guess what I’m doing today??
Yep, I’m actually writing! 😉
After getting my newest fiction proposal off to my agent, I decided to focus on the funky devotional another publisher is interested in. Last night I cut 500 words from one devo I had written a year or so ago, and today I’m committed to getting a new one written and sent to my wonderful critique group for our Thursday meeting.
Random side note for Blogger readers: Though I love getting Percoset- and Viagra-related postings on my blog as much as the next blogger, my love for the generically-translated comment is waning. Example: “Many thanks for this genial letter. I give much thought to it and will use it in my university paper.” What this means is that you lovely commenters will now have one extra step: word-verification. I’m sorry to do it, but I allowed those spammers access to my blogging world … and I can take them out of it. 😉
Long, long ago (three weeks) in a town very nearby (Forest Grove) the paper ran a wonderful article about my book. The News Times article featured this picture of our whole family. By covering “Angel’s” face, I stayed within the DHS confidentiality rules, but you can still get a small taste of her cuteness. 🙂 There are a few mis-facts in the article, like my mother’s name or the age at which I married, but the flavor of the piece is delicious, AND I even got some good jokes in there.
I gave a quick recap of my publishing journey on Annette Irby & Dawn Kinzer’s Seriously Write blog.
And Christian Bookworm Reviews posted a fun interview. The first few answers are completely fresh.
Christina,
I am so happy to hear you are writin today as I can only imagine what it must to for your soul and your Spirit. I posted my review for your book and unfortunately I made the decision to start a new blog so the followers are are as are the comments which disappoints me mostly for you. Your book was my favorite read in the fiction category in 09′ and really wanted to help support you and encourage others to read it! If you are interested here is the link!

Yay! You’re writing!
Angel is certainly cute, even w/out being able to see all of her face. Such sweetness!
Hi Christina –
I avoid the spammers by moderating all my comments. I’m astounded at how many still try to get through.
Love your writing and can’t wait for the next book. 🙂
Blessings,
Susan
Christina,
I was hooked by your first book and eagerly await your second.

I worked! I actually was working on a nonfiction project–a collection of funky devotionals–and critique liked the two I showed them. Only three more to do before I work up the proposal and send them to my agents. 🙂
