February has been a pretty productive month. Here's what I've been up to: Writing: Pippa of Lauramore (Eldentimber 1): The manuscript went through its final edit, which meant I read it, like, fifty times at the beginning of the month. Okay, I didn't read it fifty times. But it felt like it. I also sent… Continue reading February Wrap-Up
Bleary Eyes and Spilled Coffee
I always know when I've overdone the reading/writing thing when my vision starts to go blurry on me. It usually happens when I get into a really good book, and I read into the wee hours of the night. Of course, the alarm goes off at four, and I get up to make my husband's… Continue reading Bleary Eyes and Spilled Coffee

50,000 Words Accomplished!
I did it! I passed 50,000 words on Anwen the day before yesterday. Now I'm trying to end NaNo with 60,000. As of yesterday I'm at 55,000, so I think the goal is very doable. I would actually like to hit 65,000, but I'm not sure I want to spend all day tomorrow with my… Continue reading 50,000 Words Accomplished!
