Wow! Time passes when you’re having fun! It has been a week since my last post and I’m now up to over seventeen thousand words in Cloud Dancer.

The fact is, NaNoWriMo is sneaking up on us and since I won’t start writing my great novel until November first, I’ve been thinking a lot about the concept, the characters and how I’m going to market it. Yep, you heard … More I’ve Been Thinking Again
