Manuscript off and I'm Hoping I'm Not

I sent my several times reworked manuscript of my merworld fantasy off. My editor I am hoping will find it is decent form. I did not follow the guidelines for submission (I realized after sending)...I can be a complete idiot at times. It is easy to be hard on yourself. I trust she will continue to work with me, though I wouldn't blame her if she didn't.

So, now it is time to move onto other possible pieces of writing. There is the third in the Cliff Huggins series (underway already), I also have a Sherlock Holmes piece I'd like to revisit and I have a William Latham story (YA historic fiction involving the Pilgrims).

Of course above all things, I am trying to recover from my African experience. I think it may turn out to be all about parasites. I also am trying my best to find a job for the coming school year (tough times to look).

So, for now, the Merworld will have to wait on several other pieces of my life to fall into order.

Mermaids and Dolphins

I traveled to San Francisco a year ago this past fall. I went for a Green Business Conference (another story entirely). I had some time to myself and, as I often to relax, I sought out some thrift/junk stores. One posh antique furniture store had a self of odd sales items. I found a deck of Magical Mermaid and Dolphins Oracle Cards (created by Doreen Virtue, Ph.D.).

This deck has become a source of inspiration. Actually, the cards all have a positive angle to them and always give some self-help guidance. I don’t know whether I am using them correctly. I simply shuffle and pick out three cards. Today’s cards were of the W variety; they include Worthiness, Waves of Prosperity, and Wait. A book along with the deck give a more in-depth review of the cards’ meanings. Although I confess the illustrations and insights have a feminine angle, I find the exercise worthwhile.

I’m not certain whether these cards are still available. I’m guessing some variation of them is. Maybe online? Anyhow, I recommend them to the Merworld fanatic as well as those who simply like tool for positive living.

Health Issues, but Still Writing

I've not been feeling very well. I am still waiting to hear about Merworld revisions; they'll be here soon enough. In the meantime, I have started working more on my third book in my Cliff Huggins series. Stay tuned!
