I've been writing a lot this week, working on a new CREEPY, MAGICAL manuscript.  I'm so passionate about this story - even more so than my previous manuscript (not Bird of Prey)!  I have faith in this novel.  In fact, I think this could be "the one."  But I've got a long ways to go.  First, I need to actually complete the rough draft.  Then the long road of editing, rewriting, re-editing, and re-rewriting begins....  But I've got to buckle down and persevere.  As J.K. Rowling so eloquently put it, writing is a "long, hard slog."  Boy, was she right!

But it's going to be worth it.
