My First Pitch

My blog is about my writing process. The ups, the downs, the attention to detail required to achieve my goals. Although I’ve been writing stories since I could hold a pencil, I began writing seriously in 2007. I completed my first novel in 2009. Since then, my primary goal is to become traditionally published. That is easier said, than done; and sometimes it can be a bit much.

For example: I may have mentioned that I’m having my author website redesigned to be more engaging for followers, and more appealing to future agents. Somehow I thought I would give a few preliminary instructions to the designing team, go my merry way, and then be informed at the end: “Madam, your website is complete.”

Nothing could be further from the truth. I realized last night there are things I should upload to the team that will expedite the creative process; and although I read the initial email, I missed the link entirely. I am now officially overwhelmed, and seriously questioning my life choices. To add fuel to the fire, I awoke this morning with a throbbing migraine, and the realization that I have two appointments scheduled for today, at 10:30am and 4:30 pm. I would have to cram things in-between, or after those hours. I chose to cancel both appointments, and set myself to the task of creating content to upload. In the meantime, allow me to share a video. I’ll comment after.

My Experiences and Lessons

Have a polished ‘elevator pitch.’
