Hello All,

I hope that this finds you all doing well first of all. I am happy to be able to keep everyone up to date on this adventure.
This week has been a hard week. I have been continueing to send in my writing, even though I should be looking a lot harder for a job to help out for the immediate time being. I just can't quit now. I am afraid that if I stop I won't ever get back to it and this is what I was born to do. It is a hard choice to make. I know though, that once I can start selling what I write it will get better. It just has to happen soon.

I have recieved something in the mail. I got 3 contracts from 3 different record companies. 1. Nashville Music Production 2. Empire Music Company
3. Majestic Records. They all want one of my poems for lyrics. The problem is that I would have to pay for production of it. Which isn't expensive unless you don't any money, which is my case. I would recieve royalties from the song, whether it was on C.D., music video, tv, radio interviews. I recieve all writes to it. It is a great opportunity. I had to let it go though.
I also sent in my work to 3 magazines. Only one pays money, but the others will give me a copy of the issue it's in for refernece. Which helps when I am wanting to get a novel published. A reputable publishing company wants to see proof of work. And that will work. I am also sending in to at least 4 other magazines. I will let you know which issue it is in.
I have also started another story. It is titled "Their Legacy of Love", and it is based around my grandparents. The death of my grandfather has left me grieving really badly and This story just all of a sudden sprang to my mind. I had to start writing it right away. I haven't even got the synopsis written for "Show Me Your Love" yet. I am not looking forward to that. It is a very important piece of writing that I HAVE to do.

I continue to add work on my authorsden.com site. I hope that you all check it out occasionally to review my work and give me your feedback. I am also on stories.com. Those are 2 really great sites.
I have really come to appreciate my computer. We can't afford to keep the copier in ink so I have had to start writing on my typewriter. It seems so ancient when I am used to the computer now. I find that funny.

I will close. Good day to you all. Send a few prayers our way, would you please? Thank you!

Rhonda
