If you've been wondering where I've been lately: I've been writing like crazy. My RWA chapter had a writing marathon in October, and it was the first time I'd written every single day. I would never have believed the difference it could make in my writing, just keeping my fingers moving and the story flowing without breaking for two days at a time over the weekends. I wrote more—and, I hope, better—in that one month than I've ever written before.
It's a nice little fantasy romance novella, full of magic and eagles, and while writing it I found out what the Northern Lights really are. They have nothing to do with the earth's magnetic fields, either. (Yes, the things I make up for my stories become real to me. That's normal, right?)
So I decided this habit will have to continue. I'm a new woman, one who writes every day. : )
And my family didn't even come close to starving while I was doing all that writing. They seriously thought they would. That's been a relief all around, let me tell you, because I'm already well into another MS.

I can attest to the fact that it was good, too! You mean all that stuff wasn't true? You sure had me believing it! Glad you're back. We don't mind you writing every day. In fact, we insist on it. But keep us in the loop, via your blog! Hugs!da
