So, I’m about three years past my re-writing deadline… yeah, this is insane, but it turned out to be a great thing. I wasn’t thrilled about updating my Divine Nine book, mainly because I thought the format was outdated. But when my editor permitted me to write an entirely different book, whew, baby, talking about freedom.

Now, I’m writing the book I wanted to write in the first place, and it’s going swimmingly. Right now, I’m 25,000 words in, and although I tried to think this book would be less than the 150,000 words of the original, it’s going to hit 100,000 words easily.

However, I’m writing at a steady pace, averaging around 3,000 words per day, so let’s get started! And by the way, nothing says ‘my happy place’ more than being told there are archives to explore. It’s a lot different than 25 years ago, when you’d sit in a dark room reading microfiche. Today, it’s go to the site and start deciphering illegible handwriting from 1906. LOL

Life as a writer.
