Evolved, Developed and Positives

Thank you for the feedback on critiquing. I have made a plan of how I am going to deal with my ms, and who gets to see it prior to submission.
Something has happened to me this week. I feel so in control of my writing. I have stopped small time writing on the Internet and dedicating my time to my novel (s).

I have even noticed I have not written a poem for months, this is something that has never happened to me before. I will not be updating my poetry blog anymore, I will blog here as and when in the week. My coffee break blog will remain updated, as the small income from that has paid for so many books I cannot give it up. My personal library is growing again. I have *Fire in The Fiction by Donald Maass and Stephen King's book, On Writing; winging their way to Cyprus.
Susan R Mills over at A Walk In My Shoes is a fan of * and has written posts related to the book and its teachings. I came across several authors declaring it a must read, so I just had to buy the book and see for myself.

I have been blog browsing this week, my new organsiational skills are working so well for me. IGoogle page is so useful, yWriter is wonderful and my new ink pen is flowing. In fact I do not consider it as blog browsing, but as a mobile lesson in the art of writing. There is some amazing help in the blogs I have bookmarked.

I have ripped the ms apart again, I am now evolving. I have been able to remove a few of the rocks that were holding me back. I was particularly thrilled to read various articles and posts, explaining different aspects that are required in a book. Why so thrilled? I had achieved those things. I recognised the fact I had completed those tasks. My novel is moving in the right direction, after a year of working on it, I know it is something I can submit. I will not hide it away, if anything it deserves to sit in a pile of hopefuls. Even if it never gets read, it deserves to leave my home and try.
A few agents have caught my eye, they will be approached in the future. I just need to tighten the genre I need to slot Ripper My Love into.

Historical Romantic Crime
Historical Romance Suspense
Historical Romance with a twist
Hysterical For An Agent To Read

Do I come across as inspired?

Do I sound positive?

I feel it, not just because the weather is Spring outside, but because a new bud on my branch of my writing tree has burst forth and blossomed.

How are your trees growing?
