I Feel (more) Like a Writer Now!

And what, are you wondering, is making me feel a little less like a pretender?  The fact that my first ever writer-ly interview is slated to be published on the blog of the fabulous Leigh Covington on February  21st!  I know I have been giving out information about myself left and right, but with the interview from Leigh, I actually talk about my work in progress and other writer-ly things.  So, please, if you could stand to learn a little bit more about me, please head over to Leigh's blog and say hello! (Did you catch the double-please? I'm trying not to beg... Really, I am.)

This week is going to be another whirlwind blogging week, as I will be posting my entry into the first challenge for the Campaign later this week.  I meant to do it today, but the rest of life got in the way.  The good news is that today I got a substantial amount of editing done.  Not enough, of course, but I feel like I made headway! 

Friday is a Life List Club day, so I will be welcoming Jenny Hansen to guest post.  She has a great blog called More Cowbell, and I recommend to everyone to go check her blog out.  You all know how much I like to laugh, and her posts make me chuckle more often than not.  To give you an example of her sense of humor, the blog published yesterday was titled "Help Prevent Sinning with the 'Sin Collar'"  Gotta love it!  

I will be guest posting over at Sonia G. Medeiros's blog on Friday.  Sonia, if you remember, was my guest during the I'll Tumble 4 Ya' blog hop, and gave us all a laugh by choosing Alf as her crush before fessing up to Ricky Shroder.  After checking out Jenny's post on Friday, if you have time to stop over at Sonia's and say hi, my day would be made!

What are you all up to this week?

  1. I am an incredibly lucky lady and a number of my CPs have work that got requests so I will be going through some last edits for them as well as doing the first run through of another CPs work.

    And I'm getting back some critiques from CPs so I will be incorporating that into my MS.

    Lots of editing this week :) Hopefully I'll get in a little writing. We shall see.

    Maybe I'll get to look at some more of you work?? :)

    1. You do have a lot of editing! But it must feel great to be a part of work that is getting all types of requests.

      I am glad for the campaign (and other blog challenges) because I makes me take time for some creative writing, too.

      I'm pretty sure you'll get to look at more of my work! Thanks so much for the feedback so far!

  2. That's the story of my life at the moment - making headway but not doing enough. At least, not enough for my stupid work ethic. haha. and this isn't even "real" work. Right? ;)

    Checking out Leigh's blog now!

  5. Oh my goodness! So much going on! This is a crazy week for me. Maybe insane would better describe it. *sigh* Not crazy with blogging, just crazy with everything else. Can't wait to see these upcoming posts though and thanks again for sharing on my blog today! I love it! So much fun!

    1. Thank you for having me! I guess I jumped the gun a little bit with my post, but I wouldn't have had time to tell anyone until after work if I waited to post about the interview until today, and then the day would have been done!

      I hope everything settles down for you. Those crazy weeks are so exhausting.

  13. Lara, looking forward to the interview. I've had a few those blogger-to-blogger interviews where they ask me questions that make me look like a "real" writer or at least feel like one. It's pretty fun!

  15. Hi Lara, I'm dropping by on my Fantasy group rounds! Finally . . . it's been a crazy week. Congrats on your first interview - I haven't quite made it to that point yet myself. I hopped over and read it, and I thought you did a great job! Happy Campaigning!

    Giving my WiP the "last read" before starting the query process (again)...

    1. Good luck with the query process (again.) I am not there yet, so I kind of have query envy, but also am happy to not be worrying about that part, yet!

  17. I would like to welcome Hayley, and some other new follower -- I don't think it's Dave, but it could be! I have noticed that sometimes Blogger shuffles the follower pics, and then I don't know exactly who just came on board,and then I can't appropriately thank and welcome you. Even so, I am always thrilled and really do appreciate the follows! :)
