Good morning. Did you miss me yesterday? I had jury duty. While I was off doing my civic duty (I didn\u2019t get chosen to sit on a jury), a lot was going on in the Matilija Press and SPAWN office.

Here\u2019s one of my thoughts as I work on my first ever novel. I can see that there will be a whole lot of back tracking to make sure I\u2019ve been consistent and that everything works. For someone who has spent a good portion of her life writing nonfiction, it is an interesting process working with lies (fiction)\u2014making things up. You know how someone who lies has trouble maintaining his\/her story. It seems to be that way when writing fiction. You have to remember what you lied about so you don\u2019t get crossed up. But you still have to make it believable. I think what I\u2019ll struggle with most is devising this story so it isn\u2019t predictable. <\/p>\n

I\u2019m really enjoying the process. I\u2019ve always enjoyed my work. But I think I sit at my computer with a smile on my face more, lately.<\/p>\n

I still have time to edit your manuscript. Bring it to me when you are ready.

I still have books to sell\u2014many of them useful to your writing and publishing projects.
