Happy New Year!

I know it’s early for ringing in the new year, but it’s my son’s birthday…and since I’ve missed the last one (that Turkey thing again) I’m making up for lost time. Hope your 2011 is filled with laughter, love, good food, and great stories to read.

Have a wonderful holiday season!

So I won NaNo

And I still don’t believe it. The last three days of the month was a writing frenzy like I’ve never seen. Now it’s time to revise and finish off the projects I wanted done before the end of the year. I think I’ve found, however, that 500-1000 words a day is a much more achievable [...]

Hiatus

It’s here. Wow. Some days I didn’t think this day would come, and yet other days made me long for more time. Monday begins the start of a two-part moving session. My family and I will be moving to California. Then I’ll be completing a contract job overseas for a little over a year. So [...]
