RWA Conf 2012 Ready

Whoohoo, ding, ding, ding, whoot, whoot and let's through in a yeah baby in for good measure because I am now booked in at the QT Gold Coast for out Romance Writers Australia conference in August.

Premature you may say, but I was too excited to get this ball rolling. I called my roomie and asked if she was the same and the rest is history.

Now I just need to try and stay calm because there's still another 7 months to go. I can't wait to catch up with old friends, find new ones and see the faces of those I have virtually connected with.

Whose with me?

Reader Review Of Nudging Cupid

I just opened an super awesome email. It was from one of Australia's best authors (and I dont say this because of what follows- she is truly fantastic)

She has sent a review of Nudging Cupid and I love it and just had to share.

Do you love reality TV? Ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes? Well, if it's anything like what goes on behind the scenes in 'Nudging Cupid' I say bring it on! I loved how this romance was interwoven with a fictional reality TV program. Nudging Cupid, was designed to bring together contestants, and hopefully allow them to find true love. Ivy is the producer of the show and eager to make a good impression. But what she didn't account for when putting together her dream show, was falling for one of the contestants! It's lights, camera, action....with plenty of action between the sheets and the wonderful emotional roller coasters that *Ms Williams* writes so well.

*Karly Lane*.

How great was that? Thanks Karly.

Nudging Cupid Blurb:

It’s lights, camera and love on the set of Nudging Cupid- Australia’s new television show and Ivy Mason has big plans.

Unfortunately, when it comes to love, nothing goes to plan.

Nudging Cupid was to be Ivy’s first production, the ladder to her success. All she had to do was get three sexy as sin bachelors to find love in a mansion of thirteen beautiful woman and capture it all on film for Australia to watch. How hard could that be?

But all Ivy’s plans go awry when she comes into contact with the dark haired, blue eyed, Owen Radcliff. Somehow, against all her best judgment, Ivy falls for one of her bachelors.

Owen Radcliff’s wasn’t looking for love– he was looking for revenge. Infiltrating the latest Australian reality tv show was his only way to do it. But when he saves the life of the show’s producer, Owen is suddenly torn between the vow of revenge for his sister and the need to protect Ivy- even from himself.

Share Your Goals For 2012?

Happy New Year!

Okay, so we have partied, and now it's time to look at what we are going to do this new year.

For myself it's detox, diet, more family time and write, write, write.

I'm imagining that's on most of my fellow author and writer friends lists and probably much more but I thought I'd highlight the top ones that came to my mind when hubby jammed a camcorder in my face five minutes before countdown with a cocktail in one hand and a noise maker in the other on the camp grounds of Swans Crossing.

I'm still in the midst of the second book of my suspense series in hopes to pitch in August at our RWA conference- lets here a whoohoo! I can't wait.

It's a little hard to top last year since I had two releases in the span of eight months but I'm trying.

So I want to ask what your goals for the new year are.

Share!

Got My Groove Back

How freaking awesome, I've got my groove back!

Thank you to everyone who left encouraging words and tips, they worked.

I have written over 4000 words which may seem small to some but coming out of a funk, man do I appreciate it.

In fact, we should appreciate every damn word that comes from our imagination, i have felt the other side and i didn't not like it so maybe it was a blessing in disguise.

Off to write some more, I need this done for the conference on the Gold Coast to pitch. I figured book one and book two out of three in a series completed should be enough to know the third has a future.

So, again thanks to all and happy reading and writing.

Is this what they call writers block?

People ask me where I find the time to write and I usually reply with something like- 'If you want it bad enough, you find the time.'

It's been over a week now where I haven't written a thing and I can say with all honesty that it feel rotten, as though I'm lost.

Now I know that all I need to do is get typing but life keeps getting in the way, negative thoughts keep getting in the way- I keep getting in the way.

This is the best story I have ever written, the second book in the series of three and yet here I am blogging about not being able to write. Is this what they call writers block?

My friendly, fellow authors are pumping out the words due to the current challenge or just because they can which adds pressure to what I'm already applying to myself.

I know I am not the only author to experience this but when you're in that hole, you do feel like you are the only one. So I'm writing this blog to shout out to those who are and have been through this to tell you you're NOT alone.

Right after this blog my plan is to not check my emails, not facebook or twitter but to read my last page of my MS and let my fingers tap away and hope that letting go of the pressure and life's distractions I will be sucked back into the overwhelming desire to write.

I'm crossing my fingers, ah no I'm not, I need them to write. But I am hoping and you know what it would be really great to see some comments on whether you have or are experiencing this and what you did to overcome it. Or possibly any advice you have would be appreciated.

Thank you all and happy reading and writing.
