Especially since I’ll be doing NANO. I’ve been so busy teaching (which I also love) that I have not had time to work much on my work in progress, a paranormal historical about a young witch, who doesn’t even know she’s a witch at first… I blazed halfway through a manuscript during the summer, and lately my mind is turning back to it, a lot! Plus, I’m headed to a writing retreat weekend very soon at the very beach town it’s set in: Asbury Park. I can’t wait to be there when the hotels are empty and the beach is cold and desolate. Not kidding.

Do you like photos more than illustrations for covers, or vice versa? Are you doing Nano too? If so, you are welcome to find me over there and be a writing buddy. I go by CatherineStine at Nano. What have you been up to?
