Well, I did it. I broke down and asked my wonderful web designer to build me a blog. She asked me in the infant stages of building this site if I wanted a blog and I declined.
Why?
Really, I didn’t think I’d have anything of interest to say. Talking about my daily life would be boring. (I’m a writer–I sit at a computer most of every day and write. Exciting, huh? :plain: ) I enjoy reading other writer’s blogs (not all blogs, but some) but that is usually because the writer is someone I know or because they’re witty and entertaining. Some I read for their insight into the publishing business. Which brings me to the reason I started my own blog.
Some author websites have wonderfully informative sections titled “For Writer’s” and they contain great information on becoming a writer. As a new author, my site does not yet have a section specifically for writer’s. (I’m still learning the ropes myself, I’m certainly not qualified to teach them! :blush: ) Because of the lack of writer’s tips on my site I receive e-mails from readers asking questions about becoming a published writer or what it’s like to live the life of a writer. And truthfully, at this stage I enjoy the e-mails and responding to each one individually. (So if you have a question, feel free to send it my way! 
)
But I can’t detail the day-to-day process–the letters I receive from agents and publishers, the phone calls, etc. etc.–in every individual e-mail. So it is my intent to share that information here, in lieu of a “For Writer’s” section on my site.
I hope you find my trials and triumphs to be informative, interesting, and maybe even entertaining. After all, the life of a writer is the best life of all! (To me anyway! *g*)
