Fire dancing! Yes, indeed - fire dancing

That's what this blog is all about, right? ;-) It's true, I haven't posted anything about actually fire dancing in about a year six months - so long! I realized this tonight when I was online for a writing class (more about that later) and the topic of blogs came up. I thought... hmmm... it's been a while since I wrote about fire dancing. On my blog, that is! See, I've finally been getting my butt in gear with that fire dancing book that I've been talking about for so long. And I'm taking an awesome, incredible online class through mediabistro to help me gather my thoughts, my information, and - well, to help me get my shit together!

This is the second class I've taken with mediabistro and it's definitely the best of the two. The other was (well, still is) a magazine writing class, but I feel a little cheated on that one, because the one person I was counting on for both my Q&A and my human interest feature has completely flaked and disappeared. No interview for you! I'm considering taking another magazine course, but these classes are damn expensive and, well, I'd rather focus on my book for now.

On to the fire dancing book! I'm learning soooooooo much about writing a book proposal. I can't even imagine trying to do it otherwise. That is, I can't even believe I ever considered trying to write a proposal on my own. Hahahahahaha! My concept, my ideas about my book, my marketing information - everything has been turned upside-down or inside-out and wow - it's wayyyy better now. Every little bit is way better.

The novel is still out there, still floating around... No bites yet, but I can't even really think about that one yet. It's all about the new book, research and writing and letting the creative juices flow. So, that said, here's a very badly framed and where's my face? it's in the fire! picture of me playing with my hoop, and upcoming, expect to see more posts on actual FIRE dancing here - amazing! Can she be for real?
