I was really shot yesterday. Mondays are my busy day and it was really busy yesterday, so I was worried that I might not have anything left for the new manuscript, tentatively called A Sudden Frost. But I was pleasantly surprised.
After I got my little guy to bed, I set up the laptop on the kitchen table (it's been working for me) and made some peppermint tea. I opened the document and placed my fingers on the keys, and Leah just started talking. She's been doing that this entire book. As long as I show up, doesn't matter how tired I am, she shows up, and she does the heavy lifting.
I love this story. LOVE. IT. It's dark and creepy, and I love Leah. Somehow, even when I'm doubting that I'll know where to go from a particular spot, something just happens and the scene plays out in front of me. It's like this story has been writing itself inside my subsconcious while I wasn't aware. I haven't written a Leah book since '05, but she has a lot to say.
Here's hoping she keeps talking.

Wait till Leah starts contradicting you. :o)
Great title, by the way.
Your on a roll, Trace!
I meant *You're* on a roll.
I can spell, I just can't type.
Awesome that Leah is talking to you...and you're kicking butt on your word count! :-)
John, I knew you could spell. I have an English degree and I still do that sometimes :) And yes, she does contradict me! Fun, fun!
Thanks Laura! And you're catching up!
