Well, my novella is pretty much finished. Now the storytelling part takes a backseat to the writing part. I’ll spend the next few days polishing it. Then I’ll set it aside and pick up where I left off with Seduce Me to Love. In a few weeks I’ll re-read my novella with fresh eyes and polish it further.
Yes… to be finished! This novella was a little different for me because I didn’t use any plot contrivances and considering the protagonists start out the story already married, it made it a challenge for me to keep them apart until the end. But I believe I’ve succeeded. It was a learning experience to be sure, one of the reasons I enjoy writing novellas. They give me a bit of license in how I approach the story. I’ve seen single author novella collections and I think I’ll work on one of those eventually. Right now I have so many stories to finish that I couldn’t possibly start any more, but the idea intrigues me. I bet it would be a lot of fun!
Switching gears–
I saw a few of you on the message board today. Yeah! (or was it yesterday? It’s pretty late right now! Or early, depending how you look at it.) I like how the message board gives so much more room for comments. Please feel free to start a new topic or expand on an older one. I enjoy reading everyone’s opinion.
Thank you so much to those of you who have added links to my site on your site! I’m always thrilled when I find out about it and I like to reciprocate. 
Aww, thanks for the link! It IS always thrilling to find that, isn’t it?
