Writing and avoiding writer's block requires constant creativity. |
I have not had much time to post as I have been working on completing some projects that have been on the back burner for quite a while now. One of those is the quilt that was supposed to have been completed in April. Handquilting takes a long time when you have arthritis. But I can say that it is now halfway completed, so I should have pictures posted in the gallery at my website soon. As for the other projects. I went through and started revamping all the children's book manuscripts that I had written back in December 2004 and the beginning of 2005. I had began submitting them before my mom found out she had cancer, and I got sick as well. 2004 and 2005 were very difficult in my family. In less than a year, I lost 2 uncles, 1 aunt, and the only grandmother I ever knew. When I became sick, mostly due to all the stress that was going on around me, I just stopped writing. But, now that I have begun to feel better, I thought, I should drag out those manuscripts, freshen them up and send them out. It's funny how when you put things away for a long period of time and pull them back out, you can really be critical! Kind of like looking at things with a fresher perspective. I ended up rewriting an entire manuscript and sending it out. My dear husband took it to the post office for me this morning. Now, to write a few queries for others that are awaiting another chance! |
