What now?

Ever since I won the contest sponsored by Genesis Promotions and Linden Bay Romance, my life has been unbelievable. Not a moment goes by that I don't think, "How did this happen to me?"

Months of people patting me on the back while I scrambled furiously to do rounds and rounds of edits. Finally... It's out!

People start reading it, I start promoting. Then I wait for all the fans. But my inbox remains empty. What happened? Despite the fact I I knew it would take a couple years before I could really make a name for myself, if ever, I realize now that I really did expect something more.

Don't get me wrong, I thank God everyday for this opportunity to be published. I do. I just don't know what comes next. I guess I'll get back to my second manuscript and keep on swimming and then maybe I will find out what.

If not, at least know I tried.

Listening

Right now? The sound of my fingers on the keyboard.

Reading

Probably something I'm attempting to write. Or something by Susan Elizabeth Phillips since I'm doing a big reread of her right now.
