I'm sorry to bore everyone but I am still working on the concept of Show don't tell. I think it is a fairly normal problem for writers.

It is definitely becoming easier to spot the problems, I think that must be a good thing. One positive side to all of this work is my word count is growing. It was still a little short for most publishers. As I work on removing sections that are telling and writing new scenes that show the reader things my count has grown. Just by re-writing the first two scenes I have added over two hundred words.

I am going to start working on another article for Momsense magazine. I have submitted two, one of which they rejected because they said it didn't fit with their themes for any near issues. The second I haven't heard yet, it can take 10-12 weeks. (Keep your fingers crossed)
The new submission is due on December 15.

Oh and a book recommendation. My favorite writer Deeane Gist has now written several books. The second book she wrote I just now read it though it is a couple of years old. It is called
The Measure of a Lady. It is amazing. There is humor, romance, and what I like best is it is not a cookie cutter Christian novel. I highly recommend it.

I am off to Des Moines, my nephew is turning one. It is kind of sad, he is my only nephew and I have only got to see him a handful of times. Anyway, have a great weekend.
