Read MoreWord Count and Counting
I’m at 17,717 words on my cozy mystery which should end up being close to 70,000. I’m making slow progress, but at least it’s progress. I took the advice of Randy Ingermanson and allowed my self to be bad. My last couple of chapters have been bad! But at least the skeleton of the story…

Read MoreSome Lessons Take Longer to Learn
Two days ago my computer crashed with 10,ooo NEW words written on my WIP, not to mention a revised synopsis. And I didn’t back up my work. You’d think I’d have learned by now, but I didn’t. I hope this is the LAST time I have to learn this lesson. I know I just need…
