Workin' Day and Night

So school has me pretty busy right now. These next two weeks are going to be a killer on me with a 10 page and a 15 page essay and a 12 page story re-write...yeah hectic. So I haven't been able to even look, let alone touch, Deadly Caress. I promised my lovely agent that I'd be done by the end of May, but I might have to push that back a few weeks. My new date to be finished is June 8th. That way I can account for these two weeks where nothing is getting done and I'll be finished before the 10th when TRUEBLOOD comes back on! So I'm excited to be done with my first official year of college (The previous year I attended UIC and then a community college). So yeah, yay me! Will keep you posted more on page count and the closer I get to my goal. Right now I'm at about 52,000 words! So I'm about half way done. The only thing that's running through my mind is "Stay focused, stay focused, stay focused!"

NEW WEBSITE!

I just published my first website and I'm really excited and happy. It's not super fancy, but its mine and I love it. So go check it out! Something I found out about myself is that I love everything perfect and precise. It took me hours to position and get the damn thing exactly how I wanted it, and I'm still not totally happy with it. But that's me! So go check it out at http://www.jswalkerauthor.com/ !

UNDERCONSTRUCTION

Hey everyone! My blog is undergoing some drastic changes...okay not DRASTIC, but changes nevertheless so if you click things and they don't go anywhere or that page is empty its because I'm working on it. I hope to have it finished by tomorrow night. Keep your fingers crossed!

RT Convention

So this week the RT (Romance Times) Convention was held in Rosemont, Illinois and I was very fortunate to be able to attend. There were so many great authors there and the events were fun. There was a ton of workshops, author panels, fun parties, and a giant book fair this morning with over 300 hundred authors there.

It was my first RT Convention. Actually it was my first ever convention! I really enjoyed myself and the best part of the conference would have to be that I won the American "Idol" Voice Writing Competition and now I have a fantastic agent and some prospects on getting published! I'm very excited! It all still seems so unreal and I'll be posting tomorrow talking specifically about the contest and how my life is changing.
