It’s been far too long, dear readers (if there are indeed readers out there). How did you do for NaNoWriMo? Did you win? Did you break a record or reach your own personal goal? I’m pleased to say that I finished at almost exactly the same time this year as I did last year: around 10 p.m. on November 30.
I like my novel better than I did last year, I think. But it’s not done; I still have more story to tell. Instead of finishing it now, though, I’m planning to let it sit, then if I decide to re-write/edit, that’s when I’ll finish telling Lorraine Doveton’s tale. Right now, I’m basking in the December-ness of life and reading for fun. Life is good and back to normal. Oh, except for those pesky things called finals coming up next week.
Anyway, I just wanted to tell you hello and let you know that I haven’t completely disappeared from cyberspace. Libba Bray is still planning on stopping by The Paperbag Writer, so be patient! I have a couple of other surprises, though. Elizabeth Kostova, author of the amazing The Historian, has a new novel coming out on January 12. Yours truly already read and enjoyed it and will be posting a review after the first of the year. In addition, another wonderful young adult author also has a new title coming out in January. Keep an eye out, because her interview for this blog will be up then!
