The Race is On!

The Race is On!

So. Another weekend, which means time to do things I want/need to do that are not “work for other people.” From my 750 words this morning: I have many, many things I should do today. I wonder if I’ll get to any of them. Actually, I will get to some, at least, or there will […]

Dun dun dun… Well, actually, probably not. I’m sure I’ll think of other things to fix. But in the meantime, I am delighted to have come to the end of my “MUST FIX THIS” notes. And also, this is making me inordinately happy.   You see, Joss is a Gemini. And he’s always calling Zeke

Are We There Yet?

So, for better or for worse (for the quality of the book, it’s better. For my sanity…yeah) my deadline is now sometime between now and when my editor gets up Sunday morning. I’m glad of the extra time. I still have lots I want to tweak and wiggle to make the story come alive. On
