The Blind Leading the Blind

It's kinda funny that I should be posting advice on writing or publishing when I myself am no expert.

Though I've been writing for eight years and have had a few things published, I'm just as confused as everyone else starting out in this business. I have picked up a few things and those I share.

But for the most part, I'm shoving my cane around in the dark, trying not to wack other's with it as I find my way around.

I don't know how the ABA is, but those in the CBA are wonderful, approachable and extremely giving of themselves. Many, if not all, taking the arm of the blind new writers and leading them across the highway of the world of publishing.

Sometimes, we all can take them for granted. Shame on us.

Anway, I have been a bad girl today on my superman Saturday. I've written nothing new on my wip (work in progress). I did go over my new prologue and make the corrections my writer's group suggested. And I sent it off to my agent in case he wanted to add it to the proposal he already has.

I had the book starting out from my protagonist's pov. Now, it starts with the demon's pov. I think it gives the book a whole different feel. I like the new prologue very much. It's weird, like me. And I'd like to post it, but have to get permission from my agent first.

Like I've said, I'm blind and need guidance on what's acceptable and what's not. When I do things without seeking counsel, I tend to stub my toes and boy are they getting sore!

Why no writing my new chapter today? I'm taking the day off. Last week was my birthday but today I'm celebrating. Some of the lady docs and nurses are taking me to see a local band at the waterfront. I don't get out much so I'm very excited.

One more week of full-time nursing and then I can get down to some serious chapter turn out. God willing.
