This past weekend is amongst the best I have ever had. Why you may ask, well in short two great writing events came to fruition for me. I was beside myself with excitement and smiling like the preverbal Cheshire Cat.
Literally bursting with happiness and wanting to share with everyone not just because I was proud of myself but also to show that determination, hard work and commitment bring their own rewards. If you follow your dream it will become reality, maybe in small steps but that is the joy of our journey.
My first event was submitting my fantasy – The Rython Kingdom – onto
Smashwords. It was a nerve racking experience, letting go of a manuscript I had worked on for over a year through revision after revision and numerous edits…but the immediacy of its availability to the global community was the part that took my breath away. We are used to everything being instantly accessible – just not our precious words – there was no time to adjust to them being out in the world for all to see.

Why not take a look? The next event was quite a surprise. I had been asked to write an article for a new
online newspaper, so submitted one, not really expecting it to be accepted. Almost as soon as I had sent my email, I got one back asking for my bio & a headshot! I frantically read through my bio’s and then took a few new photos to send off. As many of you know I am passionate about my writing but also my writing group and that is the subject of my article.

I encourage you all to follow your dream and take advantage of any and all opportunities that come your way.

Didn’t get to read anything yet, but wondered why it says it is not for anyone under 17 years old. Language? Sex? Violence?
There is some violence as the soldiers battle monsters and although not explicit there are a couple of love scenes too. On the front page in the preview to can see the ratings.
This one works. Thanks! I’ll cehck it out.
Great. Let me know what you think.
Mandy,
The Smashword link does not work. I don’t mean thst you didn’t make it available to click. I mean after you cut and paste it, it does not work. It is not available. Maybe it is only works on your end, since ut us yours.
