Just a few hours left until  writing becomes a job. I'm not sure it's in my best interest to tackle book 3 for this challenge when book 2 isn't complete. It will be interesting to see where the plot goes from here. I write best when I just let the characters take over. So....take it away, Abby!

I'm gearing up for the November Writing Challenge and am determined to write the appointed daily number of words even if they do not make sense:) I figure that I can finish Razzberry Beret and get a solid start on Dear Jesse. That would complete my trilogy by 2012! (At least the first draft.) I have difficulty not proofing every time I write, though. I need to learn to write without being concerned about mistakes. It's a tough habit to break.

A colleague from a neighboring school called to request a favor from me last week. She had a student who had an assignment to obtain the signature of someone famous. She asked that I sign a piece of paper for her. I'm someone famous now!:)

I left a copy of my book in a rest stop while traveling and received a wonderful e-mail today in response. Abby traveled to South Carolina, up to New York and is now going to Virginia. Even if this does not advance sales, at least I get to share my novel with a collection of interested individuals:)
