Welcome

Welcome to my blog! Please join me as I journey towards finding an agent for my first young adult novel. Between writing, endless snapping of photos, sleep deprivation, taking care of two adorable little girls, and oh yes, the laundry, I'm sure it's going to be a bit crazy on the way to the awaited publication.

I'm open to any tips, critique, or random musings about the things I write or the photos I take, so feel free to email me or comment below.

Writer's Campaign

So in order to keep a promise to myself (which is to write more posts), I've signed up for the Third Writer's Platform-Building Campaign. It's a cool way to get both new and experienced bloggers together while building a platform. The Campaign signup is running from August 22, 2011 - August 31, 2011 at Rach Writes. So if any of you would like to join in the fun, now is the time!

There will be three Campaigner Challenges to be held on Sept. 5, Sept. 23, & October 17.  I'm going to try my best at participating in the upcoming challenges so feel free to cheer me on and I'll return the favor!
