Fantastic! I've convinced myself 2010 doesn't really start till Monday. :) <br /><br />Love the contemporary Helen and the mythic Apollo. I, too, was drawn in by the last line. You must pull this off the shelf! The mixture of fun and sensuality is fantastic, and I really want to know how Helen knows what she knows.VR Barkowskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04927993233682731113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5777245334432005091.post-30538331341801692682010-01-01T17:14:58.999-08:002010-01-01T17:14:58.999-08:00Welcome Becky!

Will you have a chart like the NaNoWriMo-meter?<br /><br />As for me, I'll follow Edison's example and slip out of my holiday finery and into my overalls for a four-hour-per-day writing schedule. I will have an ending to my WIP by Jan. 17 and a real second draft by Feb. 14.<br /><br />I like the new comment box, Tricia.
