My book, THE LAST SNAKE RUNNER is a time travel historical and THE TIME OF THE FIREFLIES has time-slipping over 5 generations of girls in one family from 1912 to present day (tracing a mysterious doll with a curse as it's passed along from mother to daughter). <br /><br />I'm so proud of you and so excited for you!!!! Can't wait to read RIFT. You found the perfect editor! That's always the trick in this business, eh? :-) xoxo<br />Kimberley Griffiths Littlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03269829969442171522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9058478111996476699.post-1018034318189696962015-10-05T11:48:06.593-06:002015-10-05T11:48:06.593-06:00Thanks for sharing!

Also that self-pubbing is great, but maybe not great for every project. And just because you get an offer, doesn't mean it will work for you or that project. You are clearly looking long term at your career.

I've enjoyed what you've written so far and I'm looking forward to what RIFT will bring.<br /><br />As for myself, I blogged today about my recent contract signings as well. This writing life is a roller coaster, filled with highs and lows. It's the rises and falls that add the drama to it all as well.

But no matter how many downs there are, one UP makes it all worthwhile.)<br /><br />Me -- I'm coming to the end of my contracted series and thinking, What next? I don't want to talk about what's on sub and proposals for options and other things we're not supposed to talk about.<br /><br />Right now, I wish I was working on a new story I loved, instead of this one that I've fallen SO out of love with (despite my CPs begging me for more). In FACT I've been ignoring my WIP while I do some brainstorming and pre-writing for an idea that, as of yet, has not coalesced into an actual story.<br /><br />I want to fall in love.Dianne K.

Between that and my blog, it's enough writing for me for now. I'll see if I pick up the creative writing again later.Natalie Aguirrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03756087804171246660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9058478111996476699.post-32949061793114498762015-10-05T06:10:50.530-06:002015-10-05T06:10:50.530-06:00That is so awesome, Elana!
