20,000 words!! I can't believe how fast this book is going. I am a quarter of the way there. I have found I need to shut everyone else off around me to really make headway - no phones - no TV no interruptions and a regular schedule. I am really excited about this book and how it is all coming together. My other book was a real struggle for me - I think my style of writing has changed over the past few years and so I can write this novel more to my liking.
Other news - doing some editing for other authors and wrote a piece called Waiting today that I would like to find a home for. So often we spend our life waiting and not doing while we are. I have plenty of waiting issues in my life right now but I want to be doing while I wait on the Lord in those areas.
Congrats to my friend Kim who had a story published in this month's Hearts at Home magazine! It was terrific!

15000 and counting
My new book about Crossing Lines is coming right along. I try to write at least 1500 words a day and so far I have pretty much kept up with that goal. Fortunately, since this book is based on fact - I have information to draw from and personal experience. It requires digging into memories long put away but after so many years, I find it not as difficult as anticipated.
Writing requires structure and I still am shaping my days to accommodate what I need to get done. I am also working on another editing project besides sending out articles weekly to publications for as possible submission. I do believe that after writing so many short stories that every writer must try his hand at a book - only if to see how it is laid out and to accomplish the challenge.

New Book
I have finally felt the desire - urge - whatever - to start a new book. This will be a Women's Fiction dealing with the topic of stalking and how the act changed so many lives forever. I am playing around with two titles but like One Thin Line best. So far I have written 5000 words and hope to write 1000 a day during the week. My goal is to finish it well before the New Year.
I haven't written the news! I am to become a grandmother! Still in shock but excited to see the new baby the Lord is now creating. Due date - August 13th. Guess where I will be when the birth happens???
