GoodBye NewAgeofIdaho, hello WriterDestinyHampton

So lately I have been really involved in writing books. I love crafts of all sorts and this has  been a big deal for me.  I have always enjoyed writing but until last September, I never had a place to go as a writing outlet.  Well my friend came to me and told me of a writing group in our library.  I started to go and I have learned so much.  I have enjoyed being critiqued and it has been a blessing on my work.  It has changed drastically since last September. 

I also go to participate last year in NaNo WriMo.  Its every November, we are able to write 50,000 words in a month.  It averages out to be around 1,600+ words a day or ruffly five pages.  It helps writers get there book out onto the pages and to not stop and edit everything.  I was able to accomplish this.  I had a blast doing it and I have joined the Nano Wrimo group in Idaho Falls. 

There is a chance that I will be becoming the ML for the group soon because both of our ML's have retired.  They are still going to our groups, they just don't want to be in charge anymore.  They are handing the reins over to someone else. 

So far, I have been the only interested in becoming the ML but I have two other women who have offered to Co-ML is with me.  I'm thinking we should Tri-ML. LOL.  That there will be even less things for everyone to keep track of.

I was able to finish my first book ever.  I have many others in the works, but I have only finished one.  I am hopeing, that if I can get the editing done on it by the end of the summer, I can send it to my beta readers and hopefully get it sent out to publishers, sometime this year. 

Because of my recent found enjoyment, that I have been spending more time on, I am going to change the name of this blog and items that are on it.  I may still have a page that is centered on only crafts, but this blog will for the most part be centered about writing. 

On the note of my crafts.  I have done quite a few things since last year, but I haven't posted it on here.  I figure I should post I on here before I change the blog and I will put them on a page for my crafts to be on.  Because when I still can, I draw, crochet, or something else.

So this is a goodbye to the NewAgeofIdahoArtsandCrafts blog.  I hope you will continue to follow me and hope to get posting about my writing adventures soon.
