Okay…it’s been a while since I’ve posted here — but that’s because I’ve been busy writing.

In December and early January I focused on developing a detailed outline for my next novel — a near-future thriller. I started writing it on January 8, and spent the next week working on the opening chapter. Openings are always such a challenge, because so much needs to be accomplished and it all needs to be done in an interesting way.

Starting January 17, I resolved to try to add at least 1,000 words to the manuscript every day — and thanks to the outline, I’ve been able to meet that goal for all but one or two days along the way.

Usually I write in the morning, but today my schedule is reversed and I still owe my thousand words. So it’s back to work for me…
