    I'm baaaaack, after a year of writing and writing and writing. Still writing. THought I would come up for air and see what is here. I've written one novel and am on a second one. I am reading like mad, studying work I admire, how to books on writing and have taken yet another workshop. I have to do this part time as I teach full time too, but in these last days of my time off I am working away happily. Hope you are all well and finding what you seek. Would greatly appreciate anyone with experience in publishing giving me advice on what to do next. No idea how to know when I'm ready to submit to an agent. I'm painfully aware I am a long way from the work I admire. Should I just keep rewriting for about ten years and then submit something or try the waters?
