Take a slow tranquil glide with me through the reeds and lily pads of the lake. It will be calm, it will be rocky, but most of all it will be an adventure.

Progress Halted
The week for me was filled with reconnecting with friends and letting my creative juices simmer. I managed to write a short inspired by a good friend and had an idea for another short but as yet haven't managed to get it down. I received three rejections, which while disheartening has not dented my enthusiasm to keep trying with that particular publisher. Over on my writing forum I critiqued a couple of stories, which made me feel good as I pointed out there SPaG errors and put forward suggestions for improvement.

Busy, Busy, BUSY! :D
This week I have been busy polishing, submitting and writing stories. I managed to submit four shorts; two horrors and two literary, which hopefully will be selected for e-publication. I drafted six shorts; four horrors, two literary for submission calls and posted one for critique on the writing forum I'm a member of.
I joined Twitter too! @AlyssaSwanLake
That's all for now since I am still nursing a hangover from last night!!!
See you next Sunday.

New Year, New Start!
Welcome! I'm Alyssa and after a turbulent 2011 I am hoping for a calmer 2012 where I can truly focus on the things that matter to me; family, friends and my creative works!

Well , that's all I have to say this week. Wish me well for the week ahead and thank you for joining me on my journey :-)
