That’s right, it’s the day for all those Irish and those who wish they were, to celebrate!
And, since it’s a lucky day as well, today is the perfect day to sit down and go over those contest entries. Read through your work again, give it another polish, check for over used words and plot holes.
Then, start something new. As for me, yesterday I finished a synopsis for my next Desire and today I’m starting work on a novella.
Don’t sit around waiting for something good to happen, run out there and MAKE it happen. Do a new proposal, brainstorm with friends, enter a contest or submit to an agent.
With the luck of the Irish surrounding you, may you all be blessed with good health, great joy and many, many sales!
Maureen Child is the author of more than 100 romance novels and novellas. At the moment, she’s at work on a novella for Harlequin.
