Lots of stories

Funny, when I released my smut (I just love that word! Oh, and this one, smexy!) I figured on no sales for a week or so, especially since my CP and biggest fan was on an airplane the day I released it, but I've had a few sales already :D And, more peeps have shown an interest! I'm so excited! It's available through Amazon now, and yes, I did do the cover :) This is all good practice for the release of my romantic thriller next month, which I'm hoping to have good sales on! I love to write :D

I write in all different genres. I have so much writing I've done, and now that I've taken the plunge into self-pubbing, I have lots I'm going to put up for sale. With the shorts, the I'll probably have something new every month to six weeks, and I'm putting up free stuff on my website. And as you heard on prior blogs, I'm going to school, yada yada, so BUSY, BUSY! but fun busy :D

Also, looks like I might have small commission next month :D makes me double happy cuz I get to utilize an idea I've had floating in my head for a bit now :D She can pay the half down next month which I'll use to buy the particular canvases with. I'm so excited!

Don't forget about my art auction! Please...thanks! My email is posted on the blog site, but just in case, here's the one I check the most: leona.bushman@gmail.com

Have a great day and buy my books! and my friends' books :D

I wrote a bloooooggg :P

Looks like I'll be getting some sleep after posting this :D My new site is up and running and starting one day this week, I'll be posting blogs over there as well as here. Not the same blog, mind you, although they'll most likely be related somehow. My mind wanders where it will and that's what I'll write about. The blogs I try to force are the ones that come out as the most unintersting.

I have so much writing on the horizon that I'm doubly glad I got over the stress blockers! I have so much to do!

Which reminds me, I have a serial to polish and send off! Now I have to remember what my CP tweeted me about it...only something minor so no biggie. he he.

My brain should feel fried. You know how hard I worked on editing today? hard! but it was worth it! IN the course of my writing career, I've gone from too much back story to not enough details except when I like to throw the double adjectives in :D Mostly, it can work in the thriller genre, but I also write fantasy. It will NOT work there. I'll have to work on it.

I'm thinking that before I had to put my life on pause during my daughter's recent illness, I'd thought of having a special day of the week dedicated to writing mechanics. Is there enough to fill a day aweek? possible. I shall try :D

For now, I'm going to go get that sleep I'm craving! You think about back story and exposition because I do believer that's what we're going to tackle first in a very open forum! I'll also have the grand opening of my website very soon!! Stay tuned for details!b

Hey there!

So, as you all know, April was a crazy month. I missed my Friday excerpts. No worries because I will be starting that up again this month :) I've written plenty of late, although what I'm going to post this first time out after the month of silence, I'm not sure. I'll have to look for something truly brilliant. Any suggestions?

I have a website now. Pauses for the squeeing and drumrolls and confetti. Wait, that was me. Anyway, it's still being fixed. I canNOT figure out the dad-blasted WordPress thingamajig, not to mention the thesis and, and, the other thing. *wails* I'm very frustrated with the whole thing. Thank god the tech guy is a genius. And patient. And really nice. Or I'd have given up. Well, maybe not, but I'd sure feel bad about it.

So here's the website link so y'all can watch my struggle in progress. http://www.leonajbushman.com/and, I can get email there! email me at author@leonajbushman.com if you have any questions, suggestions, fan love, or fan dislike :P

Thanks again everyone who helped me get through April with my chin up. Sometimes, it was a close thing. Hope you all had a great May Day :) I love May Day. And even though I've learned what some of that fun stuff I did as a kid was supposed to represent, I don't care. I still enjoy it. One of the things I did as a kid, was make paper baskets with flowers and deliver them to people. Sounds like a wonderful tradition we're going to have to start :D

Hmmm I may have a book idea out of that. I'll have to think about it some more...

I'm going to be busy

It looks like I'll be writing a serial with my critique partner :D It'll be for Splintered Lands :D http://splinteredlands.com/the-splintered-lands/ go here to read some samples of what's been happening so far in this fantasy world :D

I have a short already with them and will be writing more. I'll keep everyone appraised as the results get in. *happy dance :D

Between that and my other works, I ought to keep busy :D

I'm also going to have a website soon! leonajbushman.com is the intended site addy, but will wait to see what the domain server comes back with :D soon, soon, my pretties...

Moving

I'm packing up to move, but I'm still going to write today. I realized I had a deadline so something has to be done :) When I move, I get rid of stuff. It's the only reason I'm not on the show "Hoarder" LOl. As I mentioned, I do all sorts of crafts making it nearly impossible to get rid of stuff without the "OOH I could use that with XXX" or "who knows when I'll need that."

I might not get the book done in time for what I wanted it, but I can still send in a query, etc when it is ready. I don't want to stress myself out too much as I need to be as healthy as possible for the big move :)

I'm getting a new website soon, already have someone working on it ;) I'm so excited as it will have excerpts and all kinds of stuff. I'll be able to post my book signings and stuff on it as well. I'm looking at using some of my artwork for the design background and stuff, so I'm really excited :)

Kids are being troublesome as always but they are at least helping to get things cleaned up. Monday is a big clean up day for the part of the city I'm from so needed to get this done anyway or it won't happen again for six months. (Not that it matters to me!)

The oven doesn't work here and now the toilet is acting up GRRRR. That's okay, I will fix it. Just another day in the Bushman household :D

So, I won a contest for the new website and when I figure out the linking process (it's still not working for me!) I will link to their blog.
I had a lot of fun on the blog tour where I found them yesterday. I'm having a blast getting to know other authors of all types (genres and published). :)Have a good day and I hope your dreams that inspire will be fruitful.
