Hey, I just learned about a couple good places to research editors and publishers, to make sure they are legit.  When you are out there looking for your agents and more you want to be careful not get scammed.

It's not a lot, and I know there are more out there, but these are some of the newest I have heard of.

I wanted to share a site that I really enjoy.  It's something that I was introduced to from my local Nano group (National Novel Writing Month).  We started going through them as lessons, starting in the archives.  Brandon Sanderson, who is a published author and a professor who teaches creative writing classes.  He posts the videos of his class for the rest of the world to watch and learn from.   the site is called Write About Dragons.  www.writeaboutdragons.com.  It has a ton of information you could use.  He goes through the books on how to write them, and also explains the publishing aspect of things.  He is very knowledgeable and guides the students.  He is also a lot of fun.

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.

WOW

Hey everyon its been a little while.  So much has happened.  Jeep Rides, Birthday parties, and home improvements.  I will download them all and post them. Also I started to sell Tupperware Products.  I have had so much fun selling this product line that its already been better than anything else i have sold.  I am so excited to move on with this.  I hope you all have a good day. 

Wow, its been too long since i posted on here.  I am so sorry for the delay.  There were holidays, and birthdays, and everything in between.  I have started two different businesses on top of that.  Slumber Parties, and Tupperware.  I love Tupperware.  I have done more in this business and had more fun than when i did Mary Kay or Avon.  I am having a blast.  I havent done alot of crafts in the last couple of months because we are also do house remodeling so as it stands, all my crafts are cramned with a bunch of boxes of stuff from the rooms in the house that we are remodeling.  So for now there is a temporarily hold on crafts.  I hope to get back to it soon.  Just bare with me as my life come back together.  Thanks for your support.

Dinner calendar

So we eat a lot I boxed foods and I wanted to do something different so could more chicken and burger into our diets. I had seen a calendar on Pinterest a lady was selling and thought, "I could make that." So I did. The pics below may not stay in order. I hope they do.
Squares are tape on my fridge and then I made labels with the magnet roll. It was fun.

Things have slightly slowed down but at the same time not.  I have even more stamp sets and items i am selling not to mention whats already on here.  The summer was long, Halloween was fun, and now we are to Thanksgiving.  I cant beleive how fast time has gone.  Ill try to get better at posting more often.
