I'm Moving!

After much thought (or something like darts on the wall), I have decided to begin blogging under my real name-Sherry Cahill. Therefore, I will be slowly but surely making the move. I have set the blog up and written my first post, but I will be sprucing it up a little at a time over the next few weeks.

It's all in the name of the future-is-now writing career. My plan is to actually give out, "drop," "lose," "toss" business cards at RWA National with my REAL name on them. A little crazy with a mix of luck, and I might get noticed.

So, I'm going to make sure my blog matches my business card. Fingers crossed something good comes out of it. New blog link- www.sherrycahill.blogspot.com
Happy Writing!

Good, Bad, and Ugly

Well, the good news--I got the scholarship for RWA National Conference! Squee! I am so very excited to be going to Orlando and attending workshops, meeting favorite authors, agents, and editors.

I had to ask my doctor to help me out, so she doubled up some of my radiation treatments on certain days, and as a result, I am very, very burned, but totally worth it!

The bad news--I did not final in the TARA, but I didn't really expect to (that's my story and I'm sticking to it). Just wanted the feedback, which was insightful.

The ugly--I can't get very far on my current WIP. I don't know what the problem is. It's a great idea, but I can't move it along. I keep at it, but I can only eek out about a page a day.

Oh, well! Happy writing!

About Me

My photo
I have been a writer all my life. I still have pleasant memories of typing my "plays" about talking fruits for hours at the age of eight. I gave up on the fruits, but not my love of writing. I hope to publish within the next year. I have been working on at least three book manuscripts, two narrative articles, and 1 poem. Other than that, I work, pretend to clean, and try to be a good wife and mother (work in progress).
