I have a release date for The Greatest Gift! It comes out December 17. I can’t wait to see what they come up with for the cover.
I’m working on a new story now. With each one, I learn more about writing. I think the more you do it, the more you learn. That’s the way it should be. Luckily there are good moments to offset the ones that are a struggle. The latest lesson is the importance of outlining. I do little outlining with shorter stories, so I wasn’t working with one for my latest story. Then the story expanded, and I’m trying to put it all together. My next step: a new outline to get the story back on track.
In other news, I entered the Brava Novella Contest, so I will be waiting to hear the results along with more than 300 other entrants.
Should be fun.
I’m also preparing for National Novel Writing Month–I can’t believe it’s coming so soon! Looks like I have a lot of outlining to do this month.

I am so excited about your new story — I’m going to mark my calendar! And it’s also exciting to hear that you are going to do the Nano (sp?) writing project again. It’s going to be a fabulous and busy fall, I suspect! Yay, for writing!

Congrats on entering the Brava contest. I totally forgot.
Good luck!
