Whew, what a whirlwind these past few days have been! I looked at my schedule on Tuesday and realized I only have ONE week to write my current book. Eeek! So, I sat down, hashed out the plot, and started writing! And while I didn’t finish the entire book in 48 hours like I planned,

This is actual footage of me today.

This is what happens when you go to NYC for four days and have to see EVERYTHING (or when you are married to Mr. Warren, who likes to get his money’s worth).

The secret to story magic

Rel Mollet Books, Good Stuff, On Writing

I hope you had a fantastic Thanksgiving (and if you don’t celebrate the American Thanksgiving holiday, I hope you had a nice Thursday. I well remember our days living in Russia where we’d eat chicken thighs for dinner while the rest of Russia went on with their lives!)
