I has a migraine, so, instead of being all wise, and clever and down to earth about the fact that I'm now at 55k (WOOOOO!), I thought I'd talk about something thats bothering me for about a dozen reasons right now. I'm writing three books - two are brand spanking new, as in I've only been talking about them or thinking about them, or even contemplating them for about two … [Read more...] about the writer and the story can be separate – NanoWrimo day 18
