Summer Writing Goal: Write Faster.  
Discovery: Easier to do when babies sleep well.  Shocking, right?

Seriously though, why am I writing another series?  And why so different? 

Because it's fun!  And because let's face it, I'm kinda easily distracted.  Being able to jump back and forth from a massive project like Milana to a fun, fast-paced mystery is gooood for my brain.  And my writing.

Man, oh, man.  This is the writing advice I wish had gotten when I first started out...

Sometimes I feel like a ping-pong ball.  I have To-Do lists, but they get longer, and longer, and longer, crowded out by taking care of what's "urgent."

You know the urgent: Where are the band-aids? How do you spell ukulele? What's twelve times five? I spilled syrup on the floor! Has anybody seen the dog lately? 

I've found that if I keep my To-Do list very, very focused, then I get more done. 

Just a quick post to say that I'm putting the blog on the backlinks for a while!  

All the old posts are still here, but I am going to step back so that I can enjoy pouring into my family and my books.  Truth be told, I have teenagers and infants running around here, and life is fleeting: I don't want to miss what's right in front of me!

The free time I have is going into my books (I know you Milana fans would rather that anyway)!  My goal is to learn to edit faster, and be happy with done well, rather than perfect!
