About me

"C.M. Mitchell is a full time writer and part time small farmer. She was born in Ontario, Canada; lived in the UK for fifteen years before moving back home where she resides on a small farm in Quebec. 

She has worked a range of jobs, but has always concentrated on writing and learning about genealogy, history, literature and most anything she can learn about living a self sufficient life" - standard bio

Currently, I am submitting a proposal to Sassy Books, a division of John Hunt publishing. You can read more about them with the link here:

John Hunt Publishing: http://www.johnhuntpublishing.com/ (To find Sassy Books, click on 'Our Imprints' and scroll down until you find it)

The farm is in the beginning stages, but we hope to be able to grow it to a degree where we live a mostly self sufficient life by growing the vast majority of our own food and making as much of the rest of the consumer items as we can. Currently, we keep goats, Katahdin sheep, chickens, a few turkey's, a couple of Muscovy ducks, a red Holstein calf, rabbits and three Vietnamese pigs. 

I have traced my family history back to 1749 & take every chance I get to research further. As far as I can tell at this time, I am at least the seventh generation Canadian Mitchell and I a the last remaining Mitchell of my line. 

What else?

A couple of friends have this on their site and since I thought it was such a good idea, I thought I'd steal it, make it my own and feature it on here. Monthly, I will feature an author so that they may promote their work and I/we can learn about them. 

And since this post is all about me, I thought I should be the first one to fill it out.

Welcome!

Hello & Welcome to my new blog!

With this blog, you will be able to keep up with me as a writer and find out about publishing dates, read teasers, enter promotions...a whole bunch of stuff. Most of which I don't know right exactly now, but I will set it up/make it up as I go, ok?
I'm not exactly sure how a writer does a blog thus far. If I were to be honest about my day's activities these days, It'd go something like this:

Got up, checked Facebook and posted a bunch of pictures pertaining to my book and the characters in it to my writer page in the hopes that I will get more likes.
Went to work on my proposal. Going good so far, but this marketing plan is really kicking my ass.
Stared out the window for a bit.
Filled out some info for a friends blog feature. That was fun!
Stared out the window some more.
Told off the cat for jumping on my laptop. Now is not the time for cuddles, Sheldon!
Tried to set up a blog using another site. Got very frustrated an came back here.
Am now writing said blog.

Thrilling, huh?

So I'll try to keep it interesting, not talk about the animals *too* much and keep you updated as much as I can. Things'll change and through my window stares, I'll probably forget some stuff along the way, but us creative types minds wander a lot...

...about those cats...

Right, writer stuff.
Gotcha.
Since the blog is set up to have a profile about Me-As-A-Farmer-And-Writer me and not the Me-As-A-Writer me, the profile will be a bit sparse. I'll make another post with regards to More About Me (writer me, not me me. Clear so far? "As Mud", you say) and another with a synopsis and fun stuff like that.

Have fun, ask me questions and give me suggestions!
