Hi, Supriya! Thanks for letting me join you today! Sometimes judging a contest inspires me when I’m stuck on a project. And of course if one book is in limbo, I can work on another until the writer’s block has broken. It’s an odd process, but it works for me.

Hey Bethany, I get the revelling in chaos bit but my, you really have lot on your plate! Six novels in various stages of publication and as many contests to judge. I’m in complete awe. Thanks for sharing your story with us.

Hi, Gregory! It helps to revel in the chaos, and…we eat a lot of pizza lol (Yum, my favorite junk food). Unless my son cooks (he loves it and he’s very good at it too.) My oldest daughter likes to write and she keeps me company while I’m working. IT’s been this way as long as they can remember, so they just roll with it, helping me with whatever. They’re great kids. My husband helps out too, with the plot twists that just aren’t right or just giving advice on weapons, cars etc. I’ve got an awesome support system.

Thank you very much for stopping by and sharing your wit, wisdom and experience with us, Bethany. I always thought Stephen King and Laurell K. Hamilton had it busy by juggling two or three projects at a time, but six?!

And you judge all those contests while raising three teens? Those traits should be a reality TV series.

I think your blog illustrates just what we can do if we have ourselves organized. That trait, above all others, can lead to many good things. I’ve seen where my lack of organization has hampered my writing career.

Thank you very much for imparting your experiences with us today.

Thank you, W.J. It’s nice to be here. Seven is so much fun to work on. I hope to be finished with it sometime around Christmas 2011.

Thanks to the Wicked Writers for inviting me to be here today.

Any questions, feel free to ask.
