Lady in waiting

I'm supposed to receive edits today from my Samhain editor. I keep checking and rechecking my Inbox, but they're not here yet. :(

Not that I'm really anxious to have one more thing to do, but I am anxious to see what she feels needs work. I cannot even remember how many times this particular book has seen that old chopping block. <SIGH> And I'm truly hoping it doesn't wind up being a minimal rewrite. :P

But I'll do whatever it takes cause in this business, the editor is always right. At least, as a writer you hope she/he is. ;)

.... tap,tap,tap,tap....

Google me, baby!

It's a somewhat sad fact of life that one highlight of my career is finding my name can be 'googled'. Try it! "Meg Allison Romance" and see what you get.

But it can. And so can my books ... Romancing Jenny (a short story from By Grace Publishing); Learning to Live, my first full-length novel to be published in June by Moonlit Romance. I also have a book coming out in July from Samhain Publishing, Ltd., Secrets and Shadows. Yes, this is going to be a very good year. :)

A very busy year. :\

Oh, who am I kidding? I have a ton of work to do. :P

My friends and I have fun with 'googling', the newest verb in the English language. If you can be googled, you have succeeded, in my opinion. Or, at the very least, gotten yourself into a he** of a lot of trouble.

I can be googled. I am ... uh ... okay, I'm not famous. But my name is out there and so are the stories that fill my imagination. At least a few of them are. I've got an endless supply, you know. I hope it's endless -- I guess time will tell.

Check out my links .... my publishers, friends and places to play a little. I love blog-hopping. Which is obvious since I have two, myself.

Slainte,

Ebb and flow

I need to write today. There's just no getting around it. Trouble is, life tends to interfere.

I have an appointment this afternoon. We're out of milk -- a minor crisis in a house with five children, three of whom are under the age of eleven and consider chocolate milk a major food source. And then there's the school work and the house work.

So, when does the writing get done? All the time, actually. The words ebb and flow as I go about my day. Scenes are played out on the private view-screen in my mind. Hopefully, when I get a moment to sit at the keyboard, those images and words will still be there -- fresh and ready to pour out onto the page.

Experience as taught me it will often be the opposite. sigh But I'll stay optimistic for now.

Hello there!

Just what I need -- another blog. But I wondered if the grass might be greener here ... or, if more readers might be interested in my ramblings. We shall see.

First off, however, I want to congratulate my colleague (and fellow bat) Nell Dixon on her recent sale to Samhain Publishing, Ltd.! Yay!!

I've had an exciting ride this past year ... rejection, contest win, sale, another sale. I cannot wait to see what else 2006 has in store.

So, while I learn my way around the place, do come back. And be patient. I just may figure this all out before I'm done.
