Well I feel awful for not writing in so long. I have to get in tune with what causes me to just dry up from time to time. Not only have I not been blogging, I've been avoiding my work-in-progress novel too. I'm back on the wagon now though, and ready to go!
Here's what's been going on...the Moksha Yoga studio near my house FINALLY opened this week. I have been on their mailing list for close to two years, waiting for them to open. I used to go to Bikram and Moksha classes a few years ago, but trying to juggle the twins plus driving long distances to the nearest classes...it was too much. So now I have no excuse! It's right around the corner from me so I went to two classes there this weekend. Every muscle I own is in a glorious state of agony and I'm very proud of myself for getting through it (twice!). Anyone who's done hot yoga would understand what I mean. That first class, you spend most of the 90 minutes wishing the floor would open up and swallow you or that the fire alarm would go off. In a somewhat ironic twist, I went to take a shower after class and discovered that the studio's hot water was temporarily unavailable. So that meant I went from 90 minutes in 106 degree yoga-oven, to shockingly freezing cold deluge. Truth be told I loved it. Kinda like racing from the sauna and plunging into a cold lake.
Worked on my book some more. Also started crafting my query letter and researching potential publishers. Something that I'm mystified by is whether to submit just to Canadian publishers or to send stuff to the States too/instead. From what I've been researching, most large publishers in the States only accept material from agents. In Canada, few authors have agents. I guess I've got more research to do.
Kids start back at school next week, or at least, I THINK they do. I'm a little concerned that it's a week away and we've received nothing from the school in terms of schedules/placement/teacher, etc. Today is apparently the first day the school office is open for the season so I will be trying to get some info today.
Well, guess I should get to work.
