I hope everyone has a really nice holiday and stays safe in their travels. Hubby and I stayed home this year. We're still kind of contagious with our colds. Plus, just feeling plain icky. I think between the two of us we've gone through about ten boxes of Kleenex.
I'm near the end of the draft for Deadly Retreat. I'm hoping to get the epilogue at least started tonight. I'm torn between doing nothing and reading a book or getting busy and finishing the draft. I'm pleased with the word count, and I'm now looking forward to the next book in the series, and I've already picked the title.
I think the shortest amount of time it's taken me to complete a first draft was about three months--and that was years ago. This time I've finished in less than two. Well nearly...I still have to write the epilogue. I opted for an epilogue this time, since it's basically about tying up loose ends.
I'm grateful for another year, and have hope for a bit of smoother sailing for the coming one. I've still got a lot of work ahead of me, searching for a publisher or agent for Bubba and Bean and Murder at Mallard River Bend. I'll also be revising Deadly Retreat, and I'd like to free up some brain cells to write a few short stories, too.
Merry Christmas all, y'all. You's guys, and folks.

Yay, KS! I'm late commenting -- sorry! But I'm glad you had a nice Christmas, and congratulations on DR. We've both rough-drafted our WIPs in record-time; how exciting! :-D
I wish you and P. and your kitty girls a wonderful 2010 -- and thank you so much for being you; your friendship is one of my life's brightest blessings.
