In the home stretch

Getting in the habit of writing is really helping. I got another 1,000 words written today, bringing my total on Meg & Matt’s story to 44,090 — many of them written since Jan. 17. That leaves a minimum of 11,000 words — max 16,000 — to finish this story. It’s definitely a category romance. It […]

Confession time

Hello. My name is Arlene, and I have a confession. Meg & Matt are real lookers … and I don’t mean that in a good way. I’m not kidding. I’ve noticed that Meg & Matt spend a lot of time looking — at each other, at the ground, at whatever is around them. Whenever they […]
