So I never did hear back from the publishing company, so that means it's time to look elsewhere.  In other news:  I am still waiting to hear back from my publisher on my novel.  I think we are very close to what I can call a polished piece.  Well, hopefully so.  It is my mission to make sure there is nary a misspelled word, split infinitive (I truly don't do those) or any other grammatical glitch that needs to smoothed.  I am a bit of a perfectionist.  Anyway, I am enjoying the process.  When I get it back again, hopefully, I will have a quick turn around.  I actually left out a few of the changes that I saw in the last edition by accident, so I do have more to send back to them, but I am hoping that everything else will be corrected, and with those last few tweaks, we can move on the marketing.  I am itching to get started with marketing. :)  I have set up a tumblr account now for the novel.  It is called: hercurrentnovel.tumblr.com :)  Nothing is there right now.  Sorry if you looked and were disappointed.  :)  

 In other news, my theatre company is in super drive right now. Super drive, I say.  We are like at a 12 on a 10 point scale. We have a workshop coming up in a little bit, followed by a 24 Hour Play Festival.  In addition, we are putting together a business plan and getting ready for a big move. :)  Good times. :)  That's all.  Yeah, I know.  But hey, I tried. :)

Okay, so this is my first post of 2015. And it has not been a year yet, since I last posted. Only 8 months. Yay for me! I have started two new blogs, one on WordPress and one on Blogger. I am conducting an experiment to see which one gets more page views, followers, etc. 

 The new blogs are my author blogs. I have plans to give them a lot of attention, once my novel, The Wages or the Gift, gets to the marketing phase. I have been doing a lot of research on marketing lately. I am really looking forward to it. I am very excited that soon I will be meeting my publicist and talking book promoting strategy. Fun stuff.

 In other news, I am currently looking for a job, and working getting freelance writing work. I am also working on several other projects. Including a new play that I am writing for my theater company. A few new plays actually. Those are fun! I am also waiting and hoping to hear back from a publishing company about my children's book. I think I am very close to the 6 month mark, and still no word. I am going to check their website next week, and revisit their policy on this. Some publishers say if you have not heard anything, it's okay to check. Others say if you have not heard anything, look elsewhere. I need to find out which one is applicable. 

Long Time No Post...

Okay, there is sporadic and then there is SPORADIC! lol It has literally been years since I have written on this blog. For some reason during the past couple of weeks, I have gotten the itch to write here again. So much has happened in my life. The most major, life changing thing has been the death of my brother. He died almost a year ago, and it's still strange and hard to believe almost. It was sudden and unexpected. One of those, shocking deaths, where the family did not expect it. He was 33 years old, and he had a massive seizure. We never got an autopsy, so we don't know anything beyond that. Brandon's death kind of changed who I am a bit. I had always been the oldest of three. Now I am the older of two. lol I mean Bran is still my brother, but he lives in Heaven now. Here on earth it's just Tina and I. :) I miss him. I liked having a brother. I know he is having a good time in Heaven though, so it's great to know I will see him again at some point. In other news, my first novel The Wages or the Gift is coming out this year. I am very excited about it. It has been a fun process. I am currently working on the edits that my editor sent me a few months ago. Yes a few months ago. It took me while to get started on them because of my company. Oh did not mention that I started a theatre company? That is something else that has happened since the last time I wrote here. I started with two friends who graduated with me. We call the company Certain Curtain Theatre. I love it. We are still getting started and we have a long way to go, but running a theatre company has been a lot of fun. Anyway, that is why I am behind on my edits, but I am working on them. :) For many years, I did not date anyone. Then last year I went out on three dates. Two of them were with the same guy. It was a racy year for me relationship wise. lol This year I have not had any dates, but I did get invited to coffee tomorrow, so I guess that will be my first date of 2014. The guy is cute and fun to talk to, so we shall see. :) More later. :) Yeah, I know. But I will try to make it less than a year before I write again.

A Post about the Previous Post.

It was not a current post. It was from 2008. Long time ago. lol :) It was a draft that I thought I lost, but I realized I had not. So I tried to see if it would allow me to post it for the date I wrote it. It did not. As an update dowel rods are amazingly fun, as was everything else that had to do with my advanced acting class. I need to go to bed because I have to drive back to Tulsa in the morning. That's all. Yeah, you know I know.

Surprise :) I am writing on my blog!!!!!

I know, you are excxited, my faithful albeit starved readers, but today I am going to do a little blogging. (hi from sara) Has anyone ever gotten a smoothie that was really a roughie? I did today. I was sad, because I had just explained to my friend that I was choosing a smoothie that they don't mess up. And they messed it up. It so hard to get a good smoothie. Anyway, I am sitting in New Testament Survey, my teacher has ADD, bless his heart, but he is funny. :) Poke fun: Riducule, openly demean, but with a smile, because people don't take offense when you smile. That is what I learned today in Bible class. :) I am very jocular today. IT'S LIKE BROCOLLI! Okay, most of you will have know idea what I mean, but I said that earlier to describe my excitement over learning about different tools and stage stuff in Intro to Technical Production. I had all kinds of wonderful thoughts of hammering and sawing, and I was actually excited about it. I know, I am quite a strange girl. But anyway, that was earlier. Oh and I was kidding earlier, I did learn more than how to poke fun, and actually my teacher repented and said poking fun was not something Jesus would do. :) We actually learned about canons and such.

Today I bought a dowel for acting class. I am excited about what I will do with it. It will be an adventure. For those who don't know, I didn't before I was told to get one, a dowel is a round stick. As I understand it is not to be used to poke people in front of me or to gently smack them on the head. Bummer. Just kidding....probably.

Chris is writing on Sara's back. That is just random info for those who were curious about how the A team spends their time in class. :)

hey all you losers who spend your time reading Roz's blog (This is Sara btw...which means by the way for those who are dumb and know nothing of internet slang) I am just here to quote the professeur Labash

Happy New Year! lol

Social convention says I say that the first time I see someone in 2012, right? Yeah, I know, dear blog and blog readers, it's been quite a while. I finished Patches. YAY! I finished it on February 27, 2012. :) Now I am going back through my first novel to see if there any areas I want to tweak before the editors get the book. :) I am very excited that it is being published. I hope it happens soon. I have several next projects lined up, and right now I am just trying to decide which one needs to be conquered next. My BFF has Patches right now, she is reading and editing it for me before the second draft.

I have changed my work schedule again. Now I start work at 6 AM. This is early. I get off work at 2:30 PM. This is cool. :) Also today is my Friday. I get off a 2:30 on my Friday. :)

Well, that's all for now. Just wanted to get some 2012 entries started. BTW: It's just nine days to The IDes of March. :D) YAY!

On Site for a bit...

So I am "In the office" today for a little bit, but I am going home at lunch. Today has been a good day. Much better than yesterday. No weird veritgo like almost fainting issues. Yay! Might have been something I ate. In other news, I am a little concered about going back outside now that the sun is up, but hopefully it will be okay. I will only be out there for a bit. I hope all this medicine is working. I seem to be better, so I hope that's the case.

ION:

Today we had a pot luck and our manager bought pulled pork. It was yummy. I ate two sandwhiches. :D) Good breakfast. Anyway, I thought of an interesting idea for a play the other day. I want to write something for one person. I am not exactly sure how it will work though. I am very curious. Anyway, right now Patches and The Wages or the Gift are still my priorities. Time to get back to work.

More later...
yeah I know.

I am at the office today. Not my office, the other one. The one where I actually have to get in the car and drive to a separate location. I was lured here to participate in some kind of golf tournament, however, there does not seem to be any kind of event happening around here. Sure people say it's happening, but I am already almost done with my lunch break, and no one has said anything to me about golf. I am so ready to go back home. Yesterday I was in a lot of pain, and while I feel much better today, I really want to get out of the jeans I am wearing and into more comfortable clothing. I only have one break left, then an hour and forty minutes (I was a few minutes late signing in because I could not remember how to do it on the phone. lol) and I am going home. I'll update at some point.

That's all
