Honestly, I’m not doing it on purpose. I’ve been sooo busy rewriting Dark Angel that I haven’t thought of much else in the last four weeks, least of all blogging. The good news is that I’m almost done. Almost. I still have 10-20K to go, and the ending isn’t going to be the same as the original, much to my mixed emotions. I’m disappointed, because it makes my job of writing harder, but I’m glad, because it will leave it open to turn it into a series, which was my hope way back when I started. This way is best for the story, rather than myself.

Otherwise, I split my time with family and my horse. The writing time takes place around being a wife, mother, horsewoman, etc. But I get 2-3 hours total a day for writing, around everything else, and that doesn’t mean I can sit right down and start writing.  I often need a good half hour of quiet time to wind down after a busy morning or afternoon.  I write during naptime and after my kids are in bed.
In the meantime, be sure to keep checking for updates on Dragon Prophecy and, soon, Dragon Legends. As editing for the second book gets underway, I’ll start posting excerpts of that and eventually the appendices for the second story. If you haven’t already done so, go on and check out both appendices, the character interviewsm and the world map for Dragon Prophecy on the series page.

In the meantime, here’s something fun, compliments of our not-so-little-anymore Harlee Quinn:
