I’m so there.
I’m mighty tempted to trim the storyline on Krissy’s story and make it a short. Because honestly, the plot line is not holding my interest. My old nemisis, conflict, reared it’s head about 2 weeks ago. I tried to rework the synopsis to make there be conflict, but it’s really not working for me.

And if I trim it, I can wrap it up by the end of this month. Which gives me four months to write and edit a book targeted at either the new Spice line or Desire over at HQN, and have it ready to pitch at RWA in July.

Going to think about it. And with the deadline not til September, I’d have time to write one entry after RWA. But I’d like to have it done before then.

Great chance to submit to EC though. It’s definately on my calendar for the year.
