Welcome to Katie's Musings. This is part of my New Year's Resolutions for 2003. I hope that by keeping track of what I do, and how I'm feeling about my writing I'll be able to achieve that goal of getting published. I know that actually getting published is primarily the whim of the publisher, but I love seeing my name in print ;) I write romance novels, but I'm still trying to find the area within romance that best fits me. Maybe my voice belongs outside of romance, but as that's my favorite genre to read, I'll stick with exploring it for now. I am a member of the Romance Writers of America and belong to the Prairie Hearts, Heart & Scroll, and Kiss of Death chapters. I have one novel finished, Mind Games, which was requested in full and rejected by Silhouette Books Intimate Moments line. One of my published friends has threatened to kick my butt if I do not rewrite the book with the suggestions made in mind, and submit it to the sister line of Harlequin Intrigue. As I'm currently really sick and tired of the book, that's being held off until March or so. I do have some ideas as to what I can change, so there is still hope. Until then, I'm trying to get myself motivated to getting a significant portion, if not all, written of another novel. I have yet to find the idea that hit me as Mind Games did: "I don't know exactly what's going to happen, but I KNOW I can finish the damn thing." Well, I'll close for now, but if you are a writer, I do have a guide to online research available for perusing at http://leep.lis.uiuc.edu/publish/dunnebac/rwa. So Happy New Year's to all, and good luck in your writing endeavors!
