It's 2010. I've been toying with the idea of going to RWA nationals conference since we moved here in 2006. Four years of hemming and hawing over spending the money, wondering who would watch the kids if DH had to work, the travel, I didn't have anything ready to pitch, it's too far, yada yada yada. I'm so full of it my eyes ought to be brown. The real reason has been the overwhelming fear. And it's not a specific fear, like claustrophobia, more of a general angst. It boils down to, I've got to want it badly enough. Before 2010, I really don't think I did. In the last year both my productivity and my online networking have increased by leaps and bounds. I have two manuscripts ready to pitch and I'm hoping to finish the third by June so I have time to revise before both kids are out of school for the summer. My father and step-mother live five miles away, my in-laws less than two, so there really won't be a better time. I'll even be home ...

It's done. Just shy of 65, 000 words. I've actually finished the dirty draft of Who Needs A Hero? Of course, I don't technically consider a draft finished until I've written a dedication page. Which I just did. As it shall appear, eventually. This book is dedicated to my most excellent critique partner, the fabulous Amazon Goddess, Saranna DeWylde. I may not have written this book for you, but I definitely wrote it because of you! Thanks so much for believing! A round of Godiva, on me.

Squee! The Misadventures of the Laundry Hag: Skeletons in the Closet is in the top 100 recommended reads on goodreads ! Maggie is number 83. Nicholas Spark's million dollar baby The Notebook is number 50. If you have an account stop in and throw me a vote. Let's show that arrogant tool he does have some contemporaries!

I have one chapter left to write on Who Needs A Hero ? ONE!! I've had all day to write it. Instead, as you may have noticed, I've messed around on Blogger all day. Revamped the blog, organized pages, tried to give the whole thing a more user friendly touch. Honestly, I don't know what the hell I'm doing, other than not writing. Part of it is because I'm savoring the story like really good chocolate. I don't want to say good-bye. Sure it's dirty draft and I'll need to go over and over and OVER it to the point where I hate the story but it's not the same. I made myself cry with something I wrote this morning. First time ever. There is no doubt in my mind, this book is a winner. I've learned so much over the past few months, my style has really settled around me like a mantle, voice leading the charge. Dusted through 10K in the last week. Maggie and Neil want their story to be told, I didn't have to threaten, cajole wheedle, beg or wh...
