Novella is Done

May 21, 2009

I intended to blog last night after I finished the novella, but I finished at almost exactly 1:00 AM, so the blog post would have been today’s anyway. Besides, I was too tired to be coherent on anything longer than Twitter. I’ve gone from finding the 140 character restriction very limiting to actually enjoying the short little messages. But I digress, there will probably be a lot of that in this post, because I am achingly tired. So why didn’t I sleep in? Everyone that has an elementary age child raise your hand; you know the answer. No matter your schedule the child-care issues go on. So, I’m staring bleary-eyed at the screen and trying to remember what the heck I was actually wanting to blog about, oh, yeah, the novella.

It’s done, and just in time for Jon and I to go away for a four day Memorial day weekend. I can go with a clear conscience and I’m hoping that when I come back to work that doing the novella will have shaken something lose for the Merry book. The last time I had something like this interrupt a book was MICAH during DANSE MACABRE. That was even weirder because the same characters and world interrupted and demanded to be written first.
