Andrea Rants: Insights, Thoughts, and Opinions

MY thoughts, insights and opinions on things in MY life. I'm not asking for your judgment. Enjoy...or not.

Name:
Location: Chicago, Illinois, United States

Corporate America 12 year veteran. I've held positions ranging from Customer Service to Sr. Manager to Assistant Vice President of Marketing. Novelist. I've always written. My first book was penned (or rather, penciled) at the tender age of six, and every moment since, I have been writing this short story or that novel. My first novel is a work of fiction: Her Essence, a Mystery/Thriller. I am in the process of writing my first non-fiction book, which incorporates my life coaching methodologies and philosphies as well as other thrillers: Taming Roland, About Bryant, and the sequel to Her Essence.

A State of Openness



Not sure what picture I uploaded, so bear with me. I'm just excited that the system is working properly.

So, a state of openness. I tried to create this today in my yoga practice, using a bolster to open my heart chakra. Have you tried yoga yet? You must!

Anyhow, as I lie there opening all sorts of things, my mind drifted nicely and I knew that I was going to accomplish something wonderful today. And to that (today was really a Roland day): I'm at 17, 100 words/ 62 pages on Taming Roland. I had just a wonderful breakthrough with the protagonist, Marla. You'll hear more about my friend Marla at a later date. I mapped out other story lines within this novel that I hadn't considered, so I'm very excited to put pen to paper on this.

I wrote my cover letters for my latest two agents who have requested Her Essence. Will mail Monday as printer is on the fritz (not a sign, just bad luck).

Identified new opportunities for platform and a wonderful conference in June for Thriller- writers. It's in Phoenix somewhere, it escapes me.

Off to watch 'The Constant Gardner' and looking forward to it.

To all, have a wonderful evening (morning or afternoon, depending on when you're reading this or where).
Andrea
