June Just Hit Send

Wow, we're in serious trouble when *I'm* the one to post first on JHS, LOL. I'm assuming everyone is doing so brilliantly with book deals, chatting with Oprah and sipping champagne!

June goals include: two new blog posts for Squiggle, the final polish on the WZ book proposal, and I've rewritten the angle on the Mobile Freelance Office article. I already have two queries out, so that's a big step for me this month!

Ravenlea, do you have a phone number? It might be good to call him first, tell him the contact page is broken, and get the right email addy. If you send it to his personal email, it could get trapped in a spam filter and never see the light of day. Before you do any of the above, use a different browser to open the contact page; some scripts are picky, and it might work with another browser.

Sky, so glad things have quieted down. I felt the same way before I jumped to full time--I had to stare at a computer screen all day, so the very last thing I wanted was to look at one when I got home. Journaling is a great way to go, and it keeps your creative juices flowing until you've recovered enough to write. Hang in there, do what you can, and take care! ::hugs::

Ravenlea, you're doing so well! Go get 'em! Sky, haven't seen you on Twitter in the last couple of days--when will you find out about the job? I hope you get it and can relax a bit. Life's too short to be stressed, and you have some great writing days ahead!

Amy, I know what you've been up to; you're honing that comedy writing until it's razor sharp. If everyone hasn't read Amy's stuff lately, go peruse her latest blog posts. Amazing, hilarious stuff.

I don't want to jinx myself, but it looks like I will have the book proposal done by the end of the week! Squeeeeee! I let it sit for a few days like wyntermoon suggested, and this week I've been re-checking it, fluffing it up here and there. Right now, I'm working on the sample chapter stuff. Funny thing is, I keep adding to the overall book because I write something new in the chapter summary every day.

I also started a new blog (like I needed one) for humor writers. It's VERY new, born yesterday, but I want it to be a central spot for humor writers to find contests, markets, great blogs by talented authors, and hopefully other content like interviews down the line. Come by and visit if you like while I arrange the furniture and get some posts up.
