I spent the late part of spring (early summer) leveling a seventeen feet by sixteen feet piece of land, in-between my editing deadlines. See, I live on a sloped yard and have wanted a decent size pool forever. Wal-mart had this great deal on a 16'x48'' #Intex metal frame pool. Great price and big enough to actually swim in. After three weeks and several blisters, I finally got it up. The #pool isn't #perfectly #level but is only about an inch off.

       Writing is a lot like that for me. When I start a new project, I'm determined to finish it even when I know the story might be slightly "off". Later, I'll go back to fine tune the problem areas and several drafts later I'll have a manuscript ready to pitch.

      On another note, Twisted Roots--The lost scrolls, is in the final stages before heading to print!  I'll be getting the paper back PROOF copy in the next week.  I'll have thirty days to review it.  Once I send it back and do one final sign off, I'll have an official release date.  Very excited to have two books out there!
