Well, not quite off and running today, but starting tomorrow I will be jumping back into the writing fray after nearly three months off.

I have a Work In Progress that’s about eighty percent done. It is now a sequel to a book that I wrote last spring, so it needs some adjusting in order for it to make sense. I wrote this WIP first and then got the idea for a book to go before it. Since my agent was working on pitching an entirely different project, I went ahead and wrote the “prequel” and shelved this one for a while.

Now I know it may sound sort of arrogant to say, “the novel I wrote last spring” as if I just knock them out. I mean, who do I think I am? Meg Cabot? The truth is that it just flowed out of me like water. I think a big part of it was that I already knew all the characters intimately so I didn’t have to do a lot of that kind of background work. And I had some ideas of what had happened previously to the one I’d written because you have to know your backstory, right? Anyway…or “anywho” as some people say (why, I’m not sure)…tomorrow morning I will sit down at my desk and ask myself the age-old question every writers asks herself when siting down to write…

“Is there anymore of that Halloween candy left?”
