With all the things going on in our house with the remodel, we've been discombobulated in the rest of the house. This means my crocheting has been stashed away.

I finished the scene and wrote more. I was woken up at 8:30. A dangerous thing to do when I planned to … Continue reading Writing Vacation Day 2

Today I set up posts for my blog, did some promoting on some of my books, celebrated my first hardcover book and a variety of other tasks in order to avoid writing.
