Ramblings of an author

This is supposed to be a writing blog and really I find it difficult to actually write here. Expressing my thoughts seems to be a bit more difficult that expressing my ideas. I suppose that is good for you, the reader, because it means that I am doing other things like working on my writing ideas, (or dealing with my real job). Regardless here I am on a rainy day, enjoying the sounds of the drop contacting the roof and chatting with you and not keeping to my introverted self.

Now I do have some news to report. I entered the Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award like I said I would, so let's all see how that goes. I plan on entering some other contests this year so more information will be coming your way when I know more. Also, I am going to a Local Author Exhibit down in San Diego on the 1st of the month. I'm not sure how that is going to go, but it will be nice to see my fellow authors in San Diego and have Cursed and the Damned on display for the month.

In other news, Guilt's Curse, the sequel to Cursed and the Damned is coming along nicely although I wish I had more time to write it and I wish I could be a full time author. Perhaps someday, but for now I'll continue to write it as an escape from reality. Also, I'll probably work on editing and polishing my science fiction book as well as well as trying to self promote myself. Trying to get a name for yourself can be a pain in the ass. Ha!

Anyway, feel free to drop me a response or follow me on twitter @AuthorMichelleS

Take care,

It's that time of year again

Hello folks,
Once again it's that time of year. It's time for the Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award contest again, and like everyone suggested, I have entered once again. I can only hope that I make it past the first round. I haven't had very much luck in the years past which is disappointing, but part of life. Send your well wishes my way, for I  could sure use them.

Thank you!
