New Website

THE WEBSITE
My original website was built with a website builder that limited my ability to sell items and receive comments from my supporters. This new blog/website will do both of those things. I'm also excited that I will be able to include media videos and live feed for when I interview authors or have show clips of plays I post on Youtube. 

I'd love to hear what you think of the site. Drop a comment so I can see if it's working or not. Using Weebly.com's Bluehost plugin, I was able to drag and drop art files and customize the site the way I wanted it to be. And I would've been lost without Canva.com. Oh, how I love canva.com! I'm so addicted and love how it allows me to be creative. I'm not an artist, except when it comes to digital art. I can get lost for hours in this online creative platform. 

Okay enough about my silly obsessions.
What have I been up too? Well, the list is long my friends.

• I write daily and have just finished the last chapter of my mythology based YA novel, BEYOND STYX! Whoot hoo! Yea baby, I'm so excited. Now I'm headed into the editing stage of the manuscript. I'm hoping to have a submittable version ready by my writers retreat in May where I have an opportunity to mingle with agents and editors. Cross your fingers! I'm hoping this is my year. 
• I'm working on setting up a digital store to sell some custom t-shirts that I've created. So far I have 12 designs with more ideas coming everyday. 
• I'm teaching my acting classes. This is the the last session of the school year and am taking a break for the summer. It's been a great year and I have more plays ready to publish and put together in a new 10 MINUTE PLAY BOOK. I'm working on prepping the manuscript for publication so that I can release 10 MINUTE PLAYS FOR KIDS #3  in 2024. 
• I'm working on prepping my ROSE MAIDELIADEN #2 manuscript into a paperback form and getting that up soon. I'll keep you posted. I know a lot of you have asked when you can buy it. Soon very very soon! 
• My SCBWI SoCal chapter is keeping me busy with planning the fall conference, running critique groups, and setting up signing events for our published members. I'm excited to say I'll be participating in a local BARNES & NOBLE Author's day event on June 3rd, here in Victorville. I hope you can come and support. It should be a great day! 

Well, that wraps it up for now. I mean of course I'm running my butt off with all the end-of-year school activities. My daughter is in the musical INTO THE WOODS. One of my favorites and  my oldest son is GRADUATING this year.  I can't believe he's old enough to graduate. Wow time flies. 

Anyways, I'd love to hear from you. Please let me know what you think of my site and give me your insights on how to make it better! 

Love ya, Carlene
