So yesterday morning I was feeling pretty good. I’ve gotten some good writing chunks in, feeling on track. I know what I have to write each week to hit my deadlines, and pretty much hit them the first week. No sense of panic. Just a sense of deliberate “have to run this race to the end” kind of feeling. I …

I’ll tell you more about this great book next week. For now, suffice it to say, that it arrived in the mail and I grabbed it and moved it to the top of my reading pile. I love Susan’s books, and this one didn’t disappoint … at all… well other than the fact it’s the last book in the series. …
