Hello, I'm still here!

Goodness, I'm so far behind it's not even funny. I'm glad there's a three day weekend coming up--I need the time!

I've basically thrown out the first third of the novel, and started again. I feel good about it, actually, because I've gotten more focused on the right way for the book to be going, not to mention how things are setting up for the following books.

I did mention that there's more than one? I've got a pretty solid outline for the first three, with four and five pretty much done. After I did all my soul-searching about the first one, I started to see how things can be tied in from one book to the other, leading up to the finale in book five. I think it's going to be good, and I hope the readers feel the same.

Once this rewrite is finished, there will be another editing pass or several, a cover finalization, and then the big day--publication. Woo-hoo! I can't wait. Especially since I've got about twenty other things waiting to be written.

Anyway, that's it for me for now. Stay safe and happy, and grill something this weekend.

Anne
