Though I spent hours staring at it tonight, I didn’t write a word on the new attempted manuscript. (Okay, it probably wasn’t hours. I kept wandering off. Rafe and Taro is a really great story, very fun to read when I should be doing something…) Anyway. I did manage to make one change that should […]
Not even the 187,400 some words I gave up on editing, and tossed. Scratch that, start over. I’m a big girl. I can handle it. I’m not even in mourning. (Yet.) The words aren’t really gone, of course. I’m just not looking at them. As BJ told me (I’m so glad she’s around to tell

(not to mention barely more than a fourth the size…I won’t mention it if you
I’ve had it, I’m through, I’m going to bed. I cleaned my house, kicked the crap out of the munchkin’s karate bag, and wrote a vicious fight for Eve that will probably never find its way into anything. Eve’s past is hers, you don’t need to know. More than one person has commented on how
69,695 is the word count. And I think I’m done. Holy cow. I want to start the next one. BJ suggested I write the next story from Rafe’s POV, and I think that sounds like a blast. But first I’d better reconnect with my life, away from this hypnotizing black box. Yeah right. Like that’ll
