See Jane Publish

May it be a prosperous and happy year for all of you. If you need some help reaching your writing goals, the “Jane’s” over at See Jane Publish are spending all of January talking about goal setting and planning. We’re even challenging each other by specifying what we’ll do if we don’t reach our goals. My post won’t be up until January 16, but Gina Fluharty kicks off the month with an awesome post tomorrow (Jan 2). I’ll remind you of my post as we get closer to the date. I’m hopeful for and a little scared of 2014. Last …

The Janes are having a lot of fun during the month of December. We’re all spinning stories about a moo cow creamer. Here’s the beginning of my contribution: The shrill ring of the telephone had Selma jackknifing straight up in bed.

In honor of National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo), the writers of See Jane Publish talk about their first draft process this month. Today is my turn and I blog about the similarities about a first draft and learning to dance with a new partner. What type of dance does your first draft process resemble?

Since then, I’ve finished quite a few first drafts. Writing a new story is like learning to …

It’s time for my inaugural post at See Jane Publish. In honor of Halloween month October, all the Janes are writing about scary things in writing and publishing. Hop on over to see what terrifies me. I’m on my way toward becoming a professional writer, an author. I know this because I’ve measured success one rejection letter at a time. Slowly—oh so slowly—the responses to my queries went from no reply to form reply to personalized rejection to editorial feedback. And then, I arrived in that magical place where agents and editors wanted to read my first three chapters. Some …

I’m so honored to be part of the new journey of See Jane Publish. We launch today! “In June of 2011, three friends got together to blog out their trials, tribulations, and triumphs on the road to romance publishing. As with many journeys, their paths to publication wended and wandered, and their destinations took them further afield from See Jane Publish. So now eight new friends have stepped out onto the yellow bricks to share their adventures along the way.” Diagnosis, with the help of a doctor, can help you out and be your best friend! There are several different …
