Busy As A Bee!

1/14/2025

0 Comments

 
I have always heard the statement “busy as a bee” in the jobs I have ever had. Bees are always buzzing around going from one place to another.
 
 This past week, I have felt that way with finalizing entries for the Oklahoma Writers Federation Inc. writing contest and the Oklahoma Book Award Competition.
 
I have also been waiting on results of the national Veteran’s Administration Creative Arts Competition results that are supposed to be released this month. The anticipation is real.
 
 Bees must also feel the anticipation of going to the next adventure as well. So, besides finishing my entries into the contests, I have been “busy as a bee” working on writing some 2025 manuscripts to get ready for publishing this year, working on finalizing my 2025 calendar as much as possible, and waiting for some exciting new adventures with some book festivals this year.
 
So, authors stay busy constantly marketing their books through social media, other avenues, and venues as well as doing our main task which is writing. Writers write! This is what we do. Honing our craft is a constant process.

The good news is my fourteenth published story is now in an Anthology called “Visions” which was recently released. I have two other stories that are in two other anthologies, called “The Quire” and “Flights of Fantasy.”

​I also entered the Creative Slingers of Ink Ink and Image Challenge Cover contest for the month of May for children’s books.  You can vote daily between now and the end of May for BOTH of my covers, and any others that you like.  There is a creative rubric that covers will be judged against... but in the event of a creative tie... the popular vote will act as the tie-breaker.  So your votes REALLY count!    I appreciate your kind support for this contest!
