I greeted thee in sleep (since I'm really like 104 years old and I fell asleep on the couch by 9:30 on New Year's Eve), but I shall live this year with a working writer's mind (a.k.a. 40-hour work weeks, writing over lunch and after the Toddler goes to bed).

There. I've written a New Year post.

Back to business.

Waiting (im)patiently on responses to my #PitMad 12/4/15 submissions. I counted a minute ago, and it's only been 5 weeks!? Geez, 8-10 weeks is going to take forever.

In the meantime, there have been some major shifts in the series arc, so I'm certainly keeping myself busy. Not just with my own writing/editing, but I'm getting surprisingly savvy at Twitter and have connected with lots of other aspiring authors and we share struggles and successes. It's actually been fun—not something I expected to feel about Twitter.
