Wreader Fun

This past year I crossed a big goal off my list when I submitted my Emma’s Outlaw manuscript to a literary agent as well as the editor of a publishing house. I accomplished this goal in mid-Nov and now it’s a waiting game. My immediate goal is use the American Christian Fiction Writers (ACFW) NovelTrack to finish my current project by the end of January.

And in case you're wondering, yes, it's now too cold to work in the sunroom so I've had to move my cave into the rec centre. We've got the furnace fired up and I've set up an old comuter desk on one side of the room where I've been working the past couple days. I'd love to set it up permanently but the cement is cold under my shoes. We'll be putting the old living room carpet out there but have to wait for the crews to c...

I'm blogging at Prairie Chicks today about my Wyoming recon for Emma's Outlaw . Go check it out for some inspiring, unique photos. If someone had told me there were natural land formations like these, I would have been hard pressed to believe. But now after seeing them for myself, I can only marvel at the imagination of our God. And here's a pic that didn't make the Prairie Chick cut: Enjoy!
