Saturday morning. The time of day with endless possibility. My office window looks out over pine trees and uneven heaps of snow. Today, I need to keep reading Awesome Author short stories. I narrowed down the second batch last weekend and will determine order of finish by tomorrow. That leaves the 15-17 year entries. I'm also working on a new adult murder mystery manuscript and am about 21,000 words in. This one has been a bit of a struggle to pull together since I haven't had much extended time to work on it. I'm promising myself three weeks in the summer to sit down and go at it every day. Working full time makes a writer's life challenging!
