The writing goes very well. Selling is a work in progress. :)
Ooh, that's too bad! But cheers to this week!
Didn't write last week either. But it turned it to be a good thing -- went to write yesterday, opened Word, and it ate the whole manuscript. Luckily, had a backup copy -- from last week. So I didn't lose anything. Everything happens for a reason -- even not writing. *;?)
I took an online class with Angie Fox for the past two weeks and although I did very little writing on the current wip, what I did through the class was fun and I now have a YA paranormal. WhooHoo, okay really, shaking in my paranormal bones since I've never written a YA before.
