Happy New Year!

Well, the craziness of the month has finally waned, and I'm winding down the last few days of 2005 with my husband and kids. Sweet. I even went shopping three days in a row, lol.

I have nothing new to report, writing-wise. I have a few more tweaks to make on my AQ story, based on a few last minute readers. Then, off to the judges. I'm surprisingly non-invested in winning. Winning would be awesome, but it is the process that I value here. Plus, the story made the perfect winter holiday gift for my husband (that's why it was a secret). "The Jason Factor" made him laugh and contains a dozen inside jokes, including a main character that he found *very* familiar. I had it bound, with a cover designed by a graphic artist friend of mine. Thus I have my first book in print! Hee hee.

I've been working my way through some fantasy novels with erotic themes for inspiration. Research is good. I also have a list of recommended erotic romance to dive in to, but that requires more (online) shopping rather than a trip to the library, so I'm holding off for a while to give the budget a rest.

Overall, life is on the right track, peaceful and plentiful.

Here's to a prolific 2006!
