Susan, I never got to read your book this summer, although I've heard all kinds of fab things about it.
I'd love to look at it, and I cannot tell you how many thousands of romances I've read.
Lord, that's scary.
Email addy is good.

Thanks, Erin! I'm holding off until I've had a chance to rewrite the beginning, because that's the one thing I know for sure needs fixed, but I'll let you know when that's ready.

Because books.
Well, all the welcomes definitely make for a nice warm fuzzy on a Tuesday morning. Will be completely ignoring my looming deadline reading through the thread over the next couple of days...interested to see what everybody's working on.

Hi. Welcome to the asylum, babe. I'm working on a collection of short stories in addition to following crazy fanfiction plot bunnies. Sometimes my stories lose out.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
interested to see what everybody's working on.
I've got a chapter and a half, plus epilogue, to go, in the third book of my current series. I've reached the point where I finish this chapter, take a deep breath, step away from it for a week, then print the sucker out and reread. There's going to be gaps in the pacing, and I want to keep it steady. But I hate this part, because taking a deliberate week away from a work in progress this close to the end, well, not fun. Needed, though.
Also about a page left to go on a short story for "Arabella" magazine; paranormal romance.
edit: oh, and Nilly gave me a brilliant idea for a plot point in the current novel, and I'm-a gonna use it, you bet.

Deborah -- Why are you letting the book rest for a week now? Rather than after the last chapter and epilogue? Just curious.
Short stories are a form I absolutely love and never mastered. Haven't attempted one in a long, long time, but I have a file full of ideas and false starts and random scenes. I've come to the conclusion that I simply write long (not, you know, Gabaldon long, of course). But in a perfect world (oh, for the no-calorie-chocolate and the required sleeping-lateness and the...Sorry. I digress.), one in which I had the time to give them, I would love to get them out and rework them and polish them till they shine like the bright, tight little jewels they're supposed to be.
Hi back to Nilly and erikaj and Betsy HP. Thanks ever so for the welcome.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara
Hello AmyLiz. It's so nice that you've joined us.
I'm working on my first novel. I'm stalled again, though, so it's sitting on my hard drive taunting me. It does that about once a month or so. I'm much happier writing short stories, but this one refuses to be short.
