So this Friday we're flippin' the switch.
We want to hear from you.
Are you a writer? Reader? Both?
If you're a reader, what are your faves?
If you're a writer, what are your questions? Where are you in your writing journey? How can we encourage you?
This is not an easy business.
It's a rare person who makes a livable wage writing. I am blessed to be one of those people, and we have a host of authors here whose experience, wisdom and professionalism show decades of work in the industry.
We've ridden the waves of change... some drowned. Some treaded water. Some left the mainland of writing completely and that's okay.
This job/business/career isn't for everyone.
You need motivation. You need self-discipline. You need time. You need something to pay the bills until writing pays off. Those things can be daunting, right?
But mostly you need the determination to stick it out, to work, edit, work some more, then edit some more.
But in the end, to quote my buddy Lenora Worth, on the very worst day I have the very best job possible. And I love it. I love creating stories and story worlds.
So what about you, writers and readers?
THIS IS YOUR DAY!
Let us know what you like, where you're at, what your dreams and aspirations are... and let's have fun together! We have another package of those awesome cookies for you!
Leave a comment below and we're putting you into the drawing!
27 Comments on Seekerville: The Journey Continues: ALL ABOUT YOU!!!!!
One thing I've always loved about Seekerville is that it isn't always about the Seekers. Sure, we share our projects, a bit of advice, a bucket of encouragement, and a new release when they happen....
But you, the Seeker villagers are what make this blog the best!
We want to cheer you on!!!
Or if you don't want to share you project just yet, tell us what book you're reading. I just finished "No Journey too Far" by Carrie Turansky, but I missed the first one in the series, "No Ocean too Wide." I have to go back and pick that one up now!"
In my spare time I work at our family pumpkin farm in Western NY.
Oh, and I am married with 4 kids, ages 6, 8, 10, & 12.

But Beth, can your children be that old??? The littlest one was barely out of the baby stage when you stopped by here a couple years ago! (Or maybe time just slips by faster in my memory.)"
Anyway, that being said, I've been working on a short novel, probably targeting LI, and it's been a blast to write! I've finished it for the most part. I'm thinking on the other two books that I hope will go into a series. I've been "reading" a lot by listening to Libby. I'm listening to, Once Upon a Wardrobe, by Patti Callahan, and I'm loving it. "
"
I'm so excited that I'm finally starting to be able to write at a speed that keeps up with the many, many ideas I have."
Thank you!!! I very much appreciate anything you care to share"
