Current Goal – Complete first revised draft for The House on or before May 14th!
Happy Easter Everybody. It’s Monday and time for the … #drumroll … Writing Update! I have until May 14th to finish the first revision of The House and I am stuck in the dreaded middle of the book in a Middle Book … ARGH!

Middles are hard.
