Almost done with Kat!

And we survive to another Monday!

I didn't forget to post this... I have just been trying to come up with something interesting to write about! It's difficult to think about anything else when I'm having so much fun with the current book. I am nearly done with Kat Among the Pigeons. This was such a fun book to work with again! I am going to go straight into a final edit with it, too. This book will be done by the end of April -- actually, far before the end of April, if all goes well.

I love the feel of diving into a story and examining all the pieces, pulling them apart and seeing what you can do to make them better. If I am going to present the story to anyone to read, I want it to be as good as I can make it, not just something I dashed off and move on -- never mind if it's good or bad, as long as it's done. I've seen far too many writers of that type. And while I have a great deal of fun writing the first drafts, and I'm always happy to leap up and down when I get done with one, I know that the work is not finished. 

This has been a good month for art work, too. Not so good on photography because the weather just isn't going to cooperate yet. It was warm enough today, but it looked like it would pour at any moment, so I wasn't going to take the camera out. It didn't rain, of course, but it looks like it will now.

I think spring is helping. This winter was very long and brutal for me, but I've survived it -- and though it's supposed to snow tomorrow, I still know it's really past. Now I just have to dread the really hot weather of summer. And the bad storms. And maybe floods.

I know, there's just no pleasing some people.
