Very, very close to finishing this book. Need to push push push. I didn’t have the kick ass day today I thought I might, but that’s okay. It’s happening tomorrow. You heard it here first. It is happening tomorrow. I don’t think I’ll finish, but I’m getting a really...

I didn’t get six pages today, but I did realize a scene needed to go differently. A character needs to make a different choice. So, that was nice. It was just a reminder to always, always trust my gut. If something doesn’t feel right, don’t write it. Come up with...

Happy Birthday to my Bear! It’s laaaaate so we going to bed, but it was a very successful get together in the daytime and a great dinner in the evening. Night night.
