Has it really been a month since I last posted in my blog?!?!  I was shocked when I logged on this morning and saw my last post was on December 1st!  We had a wonderful Christmas here in West Virginia and are looking forward to the new year.  Because of the kitchen remodel, which is soooo close to being finished, I have already had to take down my Christmas decorations, so things are no longer looking as merry and bright as they did last week.  I was also busily trying to complete my class while gearing up for Christmas, so I guess the combination of it all has made time just fly by.

I am happy to report that I was able to fit in time for writing; however, I also had an idea that took the first installment in a different direction that I liked better and called for major re-edits, but it also means that a future story is also further along.  The downside is that it put this one a little further behind.  I was hoping to have about 10,000 words to publish at the end of the year, but my knew goal is to at least make it to the first love scene.  I will let you know when it is posted!  I am so excited to be fulfilling one of my dreams.  I have so many poems and short stories that I have written that I am thrilled to finally be writing a real book.  I hope that you all had a Merry Christmas and are looking forward to a Bright New Year!
