I structure my time, otherwise the weeks go by and the manuscripts don't ever really get any closer to being finished. When I sit down to write regularly, I like it so much I wonder why I need to even structure the time.

I love the creativity, being lost in a world I created with characters I like hanging out with. Since I've just published my first novel, I can't yet say things like "receiving rave reviews" or "getting letters from fans" but hope to be able to say that soon!

I'm working on my second novel, The Ivory Needle. Here's the premise:
A shy teen, forced to spend the summer with her grandmother in Africa, connects with the spirit of a murdered elephant and struggles to save the last two of its magical tribe from poachers bent on slaughter.

I'd been working with a teacher, trying to learn to effectively access my inner guidance. I thought it would be fun to write a book showing the difficulties of it, and stick this them into the pages of a dystopian adventure taking place on another world.
I was right! It was fun . . . and I'm still trying to learn to follow my own guidance.
