Well the year is almost over and I've only had 2 books out this year and one of them was really short! This is so not the business.I'm so done with all of this extra stuff and people. I'm good on my own. I've come to realize that and this experience will be added to my lists of mistakes I learn from! Merry Christmas to everyone!

I will complete Loving Leslie this month! I will complete Loving Leslie this month! I just have to get it done...On the home stretch and it's taking forever to finish.

I have around 3 new works in the making. One for the publisher and the other two for myself under the name of "Tessie Richards" and I am so ready for it all. It is a nice stormy day, a great day for my imagination to go into overdrive.

Mentally and physically exhausted! The wedge underneath the door is slowly giving in and the door is closing. Once it is closed, no one will be granted access for a long time. It is time to rebuild and start anew!

Vindictive should be ready, but every time I go back and read over it, I add a little bit more on to it. There are still quite a few places that can use some extra words just to make it longer. Now comes the hard part; the waiting for the cover and all of that! Patience is not my thing, which is not good. We will see what happens next. If the words keep popping out then it might be a little longer than what was expected!

I am so behind on my reading goals. I have to do some serious reading to catch up. It is enjoyable though. My goal for today is to read four books. Some of these short stories are very good.

So, I've been seeing all of these cute contests popping up everywhere. I think that I should attempt it also. It might be a great way to gain new readers. More research is needed before I do attempt to make it happen. But they do seem fun. I've even participated in a few of them myself. The prize has to be something nice. I've seen people giving away Kindles and everything. That seems like a decent way to go! I'll give myself two weeks to get it all situated and then I'll post it everywhere. Yeah, that's exactly what's going to be done! Have a blessed day!

I've been researching different publishing companies to submit to. I would love to get signed to a major label. But in the mean time, I think I'm going to stick to my own self-publishing ways. The royalties I've seen some of them offer is ridiculous. My full length novel will be submitted to a few places, but my series will continue being my own work. If the novel doesn't get picked up, then it will be self-published also. I'm inspired by all of this. Time to get to work and make some things happen. Have a great weekend and be blessed!

I'm currently in the process of writing book 3 in my series. I've been conflicted with this book because of the changes I want to make and some of the feedback that I have received. Yesterday I made up my mind to do it my way. There is always going to be people with negative things to say! I'm just going to focus on me and do what I love. As long as some people enjoy it, I'm satisfied! Be Blessed, I am!
