Good morning. Did you miss me yesterday? I had jury duty. While I was off doing my civic duty (I didn’t get chosen to sit on a jury), a lot was going on in the Matilija Press and SPAWN office.
My guest blog was posted at Book Baby. Here it is:

Here’s one of my thoughts as I work on my first ever novel. I can see that there will be a whole lot of back tracking to make sure I’ve been consistent and that everything works. For someone who has spent a good portion of her life writing nonfiction, it is an interesting process working with lies (fiction)—making things up. You know how someone who lies has trouble maintaining his/her story. It seems to be that way when writing fiction. You have to remember what you lied about so you don’t get crossed up. But you still have to make it believable. I think what I’ll struggle with most is devising this story so it isn’t predictable.
I’m really enjoying the process. I’ve always enjoyed my work. But I think I sit at my computer with a smile on my face more, lately.
I still have time to edit your manuscript. Bring it to me when you are ready.

I still have books to sell—many of them useful to your writing and publishing projects.

Glad to see you are enjoying the fiction process.
