Back to my Novel

OK, so I've completely digressed from the main reason for this blog -- seeking inspiration for my novel. I get sidetracked by my continuing outrage with the current administration, the weakness of the Democratic party (why don't they fight back, for god's sake?!), and my issues with faith and politics.

But back to writing. I met a woman ( a Rhode Islander, one of my people, yeah!) online this week through a mutual friend, who has self-published two novels, won an award for one of them, and is now teaching other aspiring writers how to do the same. She edits and critiques manuscripts, conducts writing classes, and offers seminars in self-publishing and how to turn your writing into a business, as she has. I love her!

Just having a few e-conversations with her has inspired me to get back to my story and stick to some kind of routine. After all, I can't show her my chapters if I haven't written them. So here I go. Check out her website -- she's amazing. Yeah Hannah!
