3288 words in, and the heroine has the hots so bad she can’t control herself.
This is fun.
I’m off to the RNA winter party tomorrow in London, where I will schmooze with my writer friends and with my agent. I am looking forward to a very schmooze-worthy evening.
I could write more tonight but I won’t, because I need sleep so I will be at my schmooziest tomorrow. I’ve figured out I need to do an average of 1000 words a day to get this book done in time. I started this book four days ago so I’m behind on my word count, but not by much, and I’ll hopefully make it up this weekend.
Meanwhile, my editor emailed me yesterday to ask if I wanted to write a short (30K) story for an anthology of “sizzling” stories for summer 2007. I think this is deeply cool, and you know, two years ago I never dreamed that editors would be asking me to write stories. Asking ME! Two years ago I was begging THEM to read something, anything, I wrote.
Off to bed. To snooze. In order to be rested to schmooze.

Oh goody, I’m the first here to congratulate you!
I’m so pleased you’ve been asked to do something - that’s always a good thing. And it shows they have faith in you as a writer.
Hey - you could annexe HMB’s mission statement. ‘global domination of women’s fiction’…
Have a great schmoozefest tomorrow and say hi to everyone I know at the RNA. Sorry I won’t be there!

Pshaw. Of *course* they’d do that. Why wouldn’t they?? I’m not surprised in the least.
Congratulations anyway, and have a brilliant time schmoozing!

I am totally pleased for you. It is a very wonderful thing.
Enjoy schmoozing. I am sure you will have a wonderful time.

Hi Julie
The sexy shorts sound brilliant. Congrats. Enjoy the party - can unpubbed RNA members go along? Too late now, I Know but for next time…
