Happy Wednesday, everyone!

I just got home yesterday from my first annual writing retreat with my super-awesome best friend/critique partner, Stephanie Morrill, and we had a totally awesome time. We both logged over 35,000 words in our long weekend of nothing-but-writing!
I got cuddled in at home well before the big snow hit, but now it’s puttin’ it down out there, and I promised my kiddos a snow day. Figure that’s a good way for me to ease back into the home school schedule. 😉
BUT–a few links had to be passed along anyway. =) First of all, the aforementioned super-friend Stephanie’s first book is FREE on Kindle and Nook! Please download and pass along the links! This is the first of her young adult series, which is wonderful. I read and loved them all (several times, LOL), and the timing is perfect, as her next book will be out soon. =)
Also courtesy Stephanie and Jill Williamson is a new writing craft book on turning your first draft into a publishable novel–the only craft book I’ve ever read all the way through, LOL. It’s priced to sell, so check it out too!
Happy snow day! Now back to reality I go. I have a feeling I won’t be writing 10,000 words today, LOL.
