New Year, New Start

Hey, I'm back (again--doesn't it seem I start a lot of my posts that way? Indicative, I guess...) and I'm actually posting this from the midst of the KYRW meeting on Social Media Marketing, led by our very own Maddie James. She's blogged on the topic, here:

Tweets, widgets and blogs, oh my!

Very informative. I'm at the point now where I'll be delving back into the world of all my social networks and online presence as I send my book out into the wide world to try to find a home.

Yes! The final draft is complete, the Golden Heart entry submitted, and queries will be going out this week if all goes well.

Meant to get to it a little sooner (though still after the holidays) but the truth is, I've been buried beneath a huge load of LIFE and am just now starting to clamber up on top of the pile. It doesn't help that my mild SAD has kicked in, making me extremely exhausted by the time we get the kids--yes, there are still 2--in bed and thus eliminating my primary computer time (10pm-midnight). But I have cleared my queue of other projects, AND my inbox (from 212 down to 30 last night!), and the book is Back On Top. That is, until the new accelerator goes in--early February--but you should know me and external deadlines by now...I have a narrow window to get the queries out before I get bogged again. So there's my motivation. *g*

Let the games begin!
