Now's your chance to get a sneak peek into the head of a writer.
Check back to this space often for news, updates and other exciting tidbits I have to share.

***News***
  • The first draft of WHiISiI is complete, and I've put the book on hold while I work on re-polishing Too Much Information. 
  • I've started work on a middle-grade novel about a 13-year old girl who's only wish is to fit in with the rest of her school.  A difficult thing to do when she's as different from them as can be.  Eventually she'll have to learn that being different is sometimes the best way to fit in. ***Update*** The first draft of WCIHACT is done.  Revisions to begin shortly.

I'm trying

to be a better blogger. So here you go, the second post in a week. Go me!
I have about 4 weeks left to finish my National Boards, and I've come to some serious realizations:
1) It is not fun analyzing yourself. Especially not when you do it over. And over. And over.
2) It's way more fun writing books.
3) I used to be able to work on two projects at a time. Those days are long gone. Now I'm lucky if I can work on one project at a time.
4) Did I mention analyzing yourself stinks?
5) Too much thinking leaves you with a serious hurting brain, and no amount of ibuprofen or aspirin will help it.
6) There is a light at the end of the tunnel. But the light is very far away and somewhat dim.

But I'm almost there, for better or for worse. Then it's back to 52 Weeks and planning my wedding. Gosh, why do those two things sound so easy right now?
