Getting published....

Today was a very long day for me. I commute into NYC daily catching a five o'clock train. I walked in my door tonight at seven o'clock! I am exhausted from a long week and haven't done any writing. I am a little cross eyed tonight so this is probably all I will do. I hope to do some writing tomorrow after I run some errands.

I love real estate but I walk around dreaming about my writing when I should be focusing on the beautiful buildings I'm showing. I look at people when I am out and about in the city and always think about how I can use certain elements of the things I see in a story of some sort. I have a wild imagination to say the least! So, I don't like when I don't write for days. It is not who I am. There are ideas floating in my head all the time and I have to get them on paper.


I have always wanted to write professionally but chose to be a social worker. I wanted to make sure I had a steady income. When that became too overwhelming I went toward something else I had always wanted to do which was real estate. Now I want to write in addition to working in real estate. I just completed my first novel. It is adult fiction. I wanted to self-publish initially but decided to query agents before I did that. I know eventually I will be able to share my work and will keep working diligently to do so.

Now it is time for me to take my day dreams and place them on the nightstand so that I can go to sleep. Hopefully, I won't hop out of the bed as I have done on numerous occasions and scribble ideas on a piece of paper. Tonight I want to sleep so I can be bright eyed and bushy tailed in the morning so that I can write, write, write!
