ok, so i'm a writer...how to go with the flow and change

this post isn't so much about accepting editorial criticism as it is about finding your place in the writing world. in music it was easy...i was pop. i danced, and country music, even though it was churned out of nashville like a factory,  did not have much room for a dancer. so i went to pop--my decision was kind of made for me. (i was always told i sounded like i was from the south though ironically...but that's another post and another "chicken or the egg" thing.)

as a fiction writer, it's not as easy. i am finding out that i may not be a new adult writer. and that mind sound like a big sad sigh to some out there...not that you're so attached to the particular genre but more because that means i might have to refocus my current book to a younger audience.

sounds like work. it is. but it feels like work i want to take on, work that will totally be worth it in the end.

so for the next couple weeks (aka the holiday season), i will be utilizing the time when the publishing industry takes a short break to make this thing sooooo freakin' good, even i don't know how to deal:) i'm smiling really big right now, trying not to laugh at myself. it's hard, because like i said in my last post, i don't take myself too seriously.

but i am super duper serious about making these changes. and i cannot wait to see what comes out! my mother-in-law and father-in-law are taking mase and me to florida soon, too, so i can get a whole lot done there!

happy thanksgiving! i'm thankful for you. and my family. and charlie. and my friends, who i consider to be family.

pumpkin pie is callin' my name. see ya.
