All the sudden it's the last week of October. Yikes! Not certain how that happened. The day job has been very busy and beyond stressful. (company merger -- need I say more?)
I'm diving back into my writing and have been making strides, although I haven't hit my main yearly goal. I probably won't finish both my manuscripts as hoped, but will keep forging ahead. Had a tough year. Between work and taking on new responsibilities with the Tampa Area Romance Authors, as well as joining an online critique group, contest judging, and personal issues, I had difficulty keeping up with my own writing.
Now, I've cut back a bit and hope to keep my writing a top priority. :)
My characters are gearing up for stormy skies ahead.
The clock is ticking....
