WRITING STRAIGHT FROM THE HEART

“Dear Diary”…

Immediately when you see this you know…

Someone’s going to write what’s in their heart...

There’ll be no critique of content….

Or editing out the raw stuff…

Because no one is meant to read it.

But lately…

When I visit the blogosphere…

Alfie…

The “what’s it all about” song…

Keeps looping in my head…

And I question myself…

What’s my blog all about?

Because the content in this forum...

Is meant to be read.

And the only reason I’m even wondering is…

As I submit to agents…

And give them the link to my blog…

I wonder...

What will they think?..

(If they actually do check my link out.)

I mean, in the future...

When i DO get an agent...

I DO plan on having a web-site…

Geared towards readers of my books.

But for now…

My blog serves my purpose…

Yet now I wonder…

Is my blog good enough?

Should it be more...

Than just a "Dear Bloggie" kinda blog?

So?

How did you decide on your blog’s content?

YA'LL CHANGE NOW, YA HEAR?

I’m sure’ ya’ll know Shakespeare’s saying…
“what’s in a name?”
I’ve never really thought about it much though...
Until yesterday.
As ya’ll know…
I’m submitting to agents this month…
(and will till I run out of agents to submit to)
And because I’m in Mexico…
I’m only doing e-queries for now.…
So there I was, ready to send a query…
To one agent, that according to my research...
Looked promising…
Until I saw their email address:
Slushpile@yah0--.com
(Not kididing)
And I thought, YOWSA!
That’s seems mean and rather off-putting…
Or is that their idea of a joke?
Or what?
So I didn’t send it.
But then this morning…
Looking for a motivational quote for my blog…
I came upon this quote…

"I discovered I always have choices
and sometimes it's only a choice
of an attitude."  unknown


Well ya know what?
I'm gonna change my attitude...
I'm gonna send that query to "Slushpile"...
Because I'm not gonna let a name deter me.
So?
Ever have an attitude changing moment?


Always, Em-Musing

P.S. sorry for all my ya'll's and gonna's...
it must be from watching too many episodes of...
Swamp People
Ya'll have a great weekend now, ya hear?

THESE LIPS DON'T LIE

  I’m Em, the voice of Leigh’s blog…
        In my defense…
        It’s not my fault Leigh mismanages her time…
        Take yesterday for instance…
        After she got back from yoga (2 hours)…
        She made yogurt from scratch…
        Actually, I should report her to Mexican Customs.
        She used live cultures she got from her friend back
        In the States and when Customs questioned her,
        She said it was face cream  Such a liar.
        She then made granola…
        Checked her email and replied to a few…
        Paid two of credit cards online…
        Talked with her contractor about her retreat…
        And then—       
        Uh oh! She’s coming to the laptop….
        All I’m saying is that I, her blog, am not the only distraction…
        That gets in the way of her sending out queries.
        So don’t believe all of her bull…
        And shhh! Please don’t tell her I told you so.


        Always, Em-Musing
        

P.S.  OK, TO BE FAIR TO HER, SHE DID SEND OUT TWO E-QUERIES

STEP AWAY FROM THE BLOG

It's 4:30 in the morning...
My conscience is still in bed snoring...
I want to post but I—
WHAT are you doing?
Dear God, you scared me!
No blogging this morning. Submissions, remember?
Look conscience I sent out—
Step away from the blog, Leigh. Now!
Alright already, I'm going, I'm going. Damn!
I heard that.
arrgghh
Heard that too.   

SUBMISSIONS STILL IN PROGRESS
