Hi. This is Linda O. Johnston.

It’s July already, and I’m a bit obsessed about how quickly time has been passing this year. Not that it hasn’t in other years. But I also blogged this week on the same topic at one of my other blogs, Killer Hobbies.

I didn’t blog here at a Slice of Orange last month, unfortunately. I’d mentioned in my May post that I had family coming to visit, and their delightful presence not only prevented me from doing much writing for a couple of weeks, but it erased some of my concentration. I didn’t get to the OCC meeting at all, and I neglected to even write my blog.

And now it’s July 6. The year is a little more than half over.

I still have a lot to accomplish in 2014. I have several important writing deadlines to meet, as well as editing stuff I’ve written, some before I turn it in and some after getting feedback from editors.

Then there’s promotion. I’m delighted to say that I have a new Harlequin Nocturne being published next month, LOYAL WOLF, my second this year. And October 2014 is the publication date of my first Superstition Mystery for Midnight Ink, LOST UNDER A LADDER. I want to make sure the world knows about both of them! Plus, I recently self-published my first story, a novella in my Pet Rescue Mysteries, CHIHUAHUA CHAOS.

One thing that I hope will help is that I now have a street team. It only started a couple of weeks ago and I’ve lots to learn, but so far it’s been fun.

I’ll be at OCC this month. And at the end of the month I’ll be at RWA National in San Antonio, which should also be fun.

How about you–will you be at RWA National? What do you have to accomplish by the end of this year?

Is the World Reopening?

I think it is! At least, I’ve attended more in-person events recently than I had in ages, and more to come.

The Fun of Being A Writer by Linda O. Johnston

August 6, 2022

What’s the fun of being a writer? Everything!
And part of that includes the fact that writing is always there. It becomes part of you. At least it has with me. Everything I do, everywhere I go, my writerness is part of it. And yes, that’s an unusual word although when I Googled it, other people have apparently used it, too.
