An actual writing update

This is what it is:

I don't think I am participating in Nano this year. I think I will spend the next month and then some working to get "Rough Spirits" to a final edit and get rolling on "The Fourth Corner". Play time is over, ladies and gentlemen. I have spent most of the last two years wallowing in misery. Not that I haven't had my reasons for being upset, but I'm sort of done with that. It's time for me to be the writer I have always known I could be. There is nothing in my way now. In fact, I am up to chaper 3 in my current rewrites of "The Fourth Corner". I think the story might change slightly, but the basics will all still be there. Madison is ready to have the rest of her story told. Fall is her favorite time of year, and Halloween her favorite holiday, so what better time to get started. Temper and Salem are also ready for the printed page. "Rough Spirits" needs a final edit and to go to print.

Also, there is a possibility I will be doing some book siginings in the DFW area. A friend of mine who is also an author has contacts that he's willing to get me in touch with once the next book is ready.

tl;dr

I'm finally ready to be Elizabeth Ashe again.

I loaned my roommate your book my freshman year. I just now got it back and it's sitting on my bedside table, just waiting to be reread. I'm waiting to a particularly bad day to immerse myself again.

Where is the DFW area? Is it on this planet? I'm kinda serious.
I don't knoow any acronyms or letter abreviations and location is
very important to me.
So DFW? Thank you.

I've been a bit absent from lj recently but I wanted to say how happy I was to read this. You've had a rough couple of years and you deserve some time for yourself.

I believe that means the Dallas/Fort Worth area in Texas.

I think I can pretty safely say that you have a lot of people rooting for you. Certainly this Canadian. I've said it before but your writing affects me. I'm so excited for you.

Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex. In Texas. Sorry. Sometimes I forget to explain certain things. I live in a suburb of Dallas. There's a whole little cluster of cities around and in between the two major ones here, and we call it the DFW area.
