Today is an exciting day for me. It’s launch day! Launch day for both my website and this blog. I’m so excited that both are up and running and that you’ve decided to stop by. There are still things that need to be done to the site and added to make me happy, but they’ll get there soon.
Since this is my first post, I’ll tell you a little about myself. I’ve been a member of Romance Writers of America (RWA) for 7 years. And though I can’t remember a time when I wasn’t writing, I decided to start writing seriously in 1999. 10 years ago. It seems so long ago now. I’m not published yet, but I know my day will come. I write Single Title Contemporary and Historical Romance. I also write some Erotica. I have an awesome critique partner, who happens to be my best friend. We met 10 years ago when we both signed up for the same writing class. We’ve been inseperable ever since.
I live in freezing Maine, where reports coming out tonight say that the temp tomorrow will be around 20 below zero. Not the coldest we’ve seen this year, but I was hoping when the 34 below zero weather passed through last week that we’d be done with it. Apparently I was wrong.
My plans for this blog are to update it a few times each week with my writing progress, goals, latest happenings and just plain ol’ ramblings. I appreciate you stopping by and hope you will again soon.
Good for you! I’m another newly-launched WordPress blogger. I have tried off and on over the years to maintain a blog related to writing topics, but I always seem to peter out within a few posts, never to return. I’m trying again. This time, I have a clearly defined goal and purpose for my blog, which I think was the missing link on my other attempts. I wish you luck, and I’ll certainly stop by again to see how you’re progressing.

Serenity,
Thanks for stopping by. Good luck on your blog as well. It’s tough to keep up with them. Especially when I think I’m boring:)
Best of luck,
Brenna
Awh, you made me tear up! Great intro!!
You’re too funny! Glad to see you found me:)
Welcome, Brenna! I didn’t know you’d been a member of RWA for 7 years! I’m looking forward to hearing all about that journey. And 2009 is the year of the publishing contract! (Or is it the year of the Ox? I always get those two confused.)
Hey Nina! You found me! Yep, I’ve been a member for 7 years. It’s unreal when I look back on it. 2009 is definitely the year of the contract. DEFINITELY! You confuse it with the year of the Ox, I always confuse it with the year of the dog.
Congratulations on launching your brand new blog and website, Brenna. News travels slowly from Maine to New Hampshire, and though the snow has melted and I’m late reaching you here long after your launch date, I wanted to wish you all the best with your writing.
Thanks For stopping by and commenting Pat! I’m so glad you found me! Yes, still waiting for the snow to melt. It won’t be today though. Temps are only going to be in the low teens.
