Hello, All.
Well, mostly I’ve been writing. I managed to cut 20,000 words from my manuscript and I’m going to meet my workshop deadline a couple of days in advance. Because of writing 6-10 hours per day, I’ve had to curb my reading a bit. I finally finished SEVENTEENTH SUMMER and I liked it. Yeah, it’s old fashioned, and not much really happens, but it’s incredibly visual and I find it fascinating that it’s still in print after sixty-four years.

I’m on to another book by Adrian Fgoelin…something about Sister Spider. I’ve only read a couple of pages, but like CROSSING JORDAN, she packed a bunch into page one. That woman could teach a workshop on writing the first page! More as I get into it. I’m taking the day off from writing while the husband reads my manuscript and so I’ll probably read in the backyard. Ahhhh….lazy summer days.

Read well.
Joelle
