Jacqueline's Novel Nest

Welcome 2012! On Christmas Eve, 2011, I completed the first completed draft of Ironic Dance. My husband printed it and had it bound at Staples. We each have a copy. Mine is for writing and scratching all over:) I remember thinking I would have my novel finished by this time LAST year. I didn't, but what is really cool, is the better "writer's shoes" I began to walk in-better soles, sturdier: serious shoes. Now I have a story. I have built a world filled with interesting characters that I believe in and care about. Next comes the work of cleaning and shining this world. But I know this world now, I know it's inhabitants, and it is with a cooler, calmer touch that I stroke it awake and ready to meet the world. To all writers and all readers, have a blessed New Year!
